I do not understand how the hacking of their E-mail cost the railroad $80,000. I understand how some hacker can get into E-mails but no one usually sends any payment by E-mail. Can someone give more details?
Thanks

Sounds like their email was hacked which allowed the hackers to see an email with banking info which then allowed the hackers to get into the bank and get the money. Or maybe they hacked the email address which allowed them to get to PayPal and transfer money.

Really bad reporting. The internet and computers are not new. This should all be easy by now to report.

I'd say that if you sent any money to the Strasburg in the past year it would be a really good idea to check your statements and change your bank account passwords.

First WMSR and now Strasburg. Please don't tell me this is becoming a spree.

Two completely unrelated incidents.

I'm just pointing out the fact that two thefts have happened to two tourist operations in a relatively short amount of time and that I pray it doesn't happen to any more.
