Ohio local governments lost millions to cybercrime, mostly from fake vendor scams, prompting calls for stricter payment verification.
Cybercrime now poses a greater financial threat to Ohio’s local governments than employee fraud, with over 150 incidents in three years causing losses from thousands to $1.9 million.
State Auditor Keith Faber cited business email compromise schemes, where scammers impersonate vendors via phishing or phone calls, as a major driver.
He urged requiring in-person verification for payment changes, calling it the most effective defense.
Ohio law mandates reporting cyber incidents to the Department of Homeland Security within a week and to the auditor’s office within a month.
