Recycling Project Saved by Cyber Recovery | Burlington News
Description
Cyber scammers pulled off a $3 million heist from Chittenden County’s new recycling facility project—posing as a construction company in a slick phishing scam. The waste district, blindsided and reeling, immediately called in the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office. Thanks to their swift action, a federal judge ordered over $2.2 million returned—keeping the $22 million project on track to open in spring 2027. The recovery averted delays and loans, proving that quick response and federal cooperation can turn cyber disasters into recoverable wins.
