Fraud shock in Hagenbrunn: 300,000 euros for school building disappeared!

Hagenbrunn, Österreich - in Hagenbrunn, a small community in Lower Austria, a shocking fraud causes a stir. A total of 300,000 euros intended for the construction of a new school were redirected by fraudsters to Italy by a sophisticated trick online. This incident, which took place in July, recently became publicly known through reporting in the Vienna area, as kosmo.at . The Mayor of Hagenbrunn is now faced with a difficult situation, while the accountant is considered the victim of a skillful fraud.

The fraudsters had received access to the necessary original data by a fake call, which left the fraud undetected for months. The invoice for school construction was manipulated and the account details were changed in such a way that the 300,000 euros were transferred to a foreign account. According to Michael Oberschil, who commented on the pressure in an interview with the "Krone", he explained that the community was enormously impaired by this brazen stitch. In response to this incident, the police have already started investigations to hold the masterminds of fraud, as noe.orf.at

The million dollar project is supervised by a renowned construction company that is already known for his work on the Palmenhaus in Vienna. Despite the intensive security measures that should be implemented these days, this incident shows how vulnerable even large projects are. Similar fraud cases have also brought those responsible for a large crane company and a state capital into difficulties in the past. The continuing challenges in the field of computer security underline the risk of modern fraud stitches, which are becoming more and more sophisticated and themselves to test the attention of experts.
