Hackers steal money from Bullitt County account

Over $400,000 is missing from a bank account for Bullitt County government and authorities are calling it electronic theft.

Greg Schreacke, president of First Federal Savings Bank, said someone was able to get into the county’s network. Once inside, the hackers had access to all of the county’s computers, user names and password. Schreacke said the group accessed the network from another country and that is how authorities were able to trace it.

“This is a pretty sophisticated group, so there’s a high likelihood some of the money is going to be missing. They’re the pros at it. However, we’re going to get a substantial amount back,” said Schreacke.
