Scammers dupe chemical company into wiring $60 million

Imagine your piggy bank is connected to a super pipe that sends your savings to a safe place whenever you want. Now, what if someone sneaky convinced you to send your money to the wrong place? That’s sort of what happened to a large chemical company named Orion, but instead of a few pennies, they lost a whopping $60 million!

So what exactly went down? Well, it seems that Orion got tricked into making a series of wire transfers – that’s when money is sent through a network from one bank to another. Sadly, the transfers they made weren’t going to the right place at all. They were tricked by some crafty people who pretended to be someone they were not.

This might sound like something out of a movie, but it’s real life, and it’s called fraud. Imagine someone pretending to be your friend to borrow your bike and then never giving it back. Not cool, right?

Now, losing $60 million is a big deal for a company. That’s like if every teen in a big city had their allowances taken for a whole year! For all the details on Orion’s big loss, it’s worth checking out the full story here: www.helpnetsecurity.com/2024/08/13/orion-fraudulent-wire-transfers-60-million/.
