Rijeka sport, a company owned by the city of Rijeka, has been targeted by a cyber fraud scheme. The company was deceived into changing its bank account details (IBAN) following a fraudulent email request. As a result, funds were mistakenly transferred to an incorrect account controlled by the perpetrators. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident to determine the full extent of the financial loss and identify those responsible. The scam appears to involve a “phantom company,” suggesting a deliberate attempt to conceal the origin of the illicit funds. Details regarding the amount of money involved have not yet been released. This incident highlights the growing threat of cybercrime targeting public sector entities.
