Are any local officials subscribers, free or otherwise, to the Sebastopol Times? It is easier to post a comment to one of your published stories than it is to log on to the City website. But I hope that City representatives (and County too) get to see this public input. Thank you for your local news coverage!
Hmm, when the details of how this fraudulent transfer occurred at the County finance offices, one begins to wonder if it wasn't an inside job. Has the County scrutinized their internal practices and personnel? It took a lot of insider information to stage the falsified withdrawal request. If not dishonesty from within, the County's computers were compromised by bad actors on the outside - and greater security measures are needed. Perhaps the insurance companies have already pointed out the need to take preventive measures against a reoccurence.

I am so glad to learn this. I hope the people who were phished successfully learned their lesson and are passing it to other financial officials.
