Cybercrime Investigation Targets Missing $2.5M Payment In Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has initiated its second investigation in less than one week regarding missing international payments. The US Postal Service reported it failed to receive more than $600,000 from Sri Lanka. Hackers are suspected of stealing more than $600,000 in the latest incident. The investigation is ongoing to determine the scope of the theft. The investigation follows previous inquiries into the matter. The transcript notes this is the second such probe within a week. A Sri Lankan minister's spokesman reported the incident this morning. The loss was identified after the US Post complained about the missing funds. The source described the missing amount as a likely internal payment. This incident marks the second time such a disappearance has occurred in less than a week. An investigation is underway regarding a missing $2.5 million USD payment involving a manufacturer in Sri Lanka.
