Criminals have tried to steal an estimated $100 million from corporate
bank accounts using targeted malware and money mules, the FBI said on
Tuesday.
"Within the last several months, the FBI has seen a significant increase
in fraud involving the exploitation of valid online banking credentials
belonging to small and medium businesses, municipal governments, and
school districts," the agency said in a statement.
The FBI is seeing, on average, several new victim complaints and cases
every week, according to a report prepared by the Internet Crime
Complaint Center and linked to in the FBI release.
