In February 2023, the City of Hilliard experienced a significant phishing attack that ultimately led to the dismissal of its finance director (source: The Columbus Dispatch).

The finance director, unaware of the malicious nature of the email, inadvertently provided sensitive information to the cybercriminals, compromising the city’s financial security.
