Cyber Security Risks & Procedures
The Firm has commenced a lawsuit on behalf of the Garden City Water/Fire District against the First National Bank of Long Island to recover in excess of $11 million stolen out the District’s accounts at the bank by cybercriminals. The District alleges, among other things, that the bank failed to have in place reasonable security procedures to protect the integrity of its bank accounts from the cyberfraud. As a result, the cybercriminals were able to trick bank personnel into, among other things, providing them with confidential log-in information which enabled them to wire in excess of $15.5 million out of the District’s bank accounts, only $4.4 million of which has been returned to the District. The lawsuit is pending before the Commercial Division of the Nassau County Supreme Court. Jon Ward and Joseph Bjarnson are lead counsel in the case for the District.
