White Lake Township was “a victim of a sophisticated cybersecurity attack,” its police chief said. The incident has compromised a portion of $29 million in infrastructure bond funds. Federal authorities and local police are investigating.
(TNS) — White Lake Township officials are grappling with a cybercrime that has compromised at least some of its $29 million in infrastructure bond money.
During a Nov. 19 meeting, White Lake Township board of trustees celebrated progress on construction of the $35 million new civic center complex on Elizabeth Lake Road.
Treasurer Mike Roman said he thought the contractor would be able to pour the civic center foundation before the winter weather hit. He told trustees in two days, on Nov. 21, the township would take possession of $29 million in bonds approved for the project.
