Puerto Rico, the unincorporated U.S. island that is home to over three million Americans, accidentally sent $2.6 million to cyber-criminals in January after government employees were tricked by a scam email claiming that someone had authorized changes to a government bank account.
According to The Associated Press, Ruben Rivera, the finance director of the government-owned Industrial Development Company, filed a police report Wednesday alleging that the agency mistakenly initiated the transfer almost a month ago.
