Here’s another item from the same issue of Newsbytes concerning school districts in Illinois where malware was used to steal banking info:

–FBI Investigating Cyber Theft of School District Funds
(September 25 & 28, 2009)
The FBI is looking into a series of cyber attacks across the country including several at public school districts in Illinois. The attacks may involve malware known as Clampi that is sued to steal bank account login data. The attackers stole $350,000 from Crystal Lake District 47′s bank account over the summer.
