Since the calculated fraud attack which targeted our Council in December 2024, we’ve successfully recovered a further $200,000, bringing the total amount recovered to $640,000.
This reduces the original $2.3 million loss to $1.7 million. I want to reassure the community that while this is a lot of money, it’s had no impact on the delivery of Council projects or services. The services you rightly expect and rely on have not been affected.
Cyber fraud is a global challenge.
This was not a cyber security attack. There was no breach of Council’s system and no personal data taken.
