Floyd County Police and the Floyd County School System say that most of the money that was lost in a cyber attack earlier this week has been recovered.

Floyd County Schools released a statement on Thursday evening saying: “Floyd County Schools has been able to recover the funds stolen from an outside source as the result of a recent spearphishing incident. We are extremely grateful for the assistance of the Floyd County Police Department, Chief Mark Wallace, and Major Jeff Jones as well as Lakeside National Bank during this cyber security investigation and recovery.”

Floyd County Police added, “It was discovered that the funds were transferred to Lakeside National Bank, located in Texas, and had moved between accounts. The full cooperation of Lakeside National Bank, which had already noticed suspicious activity in an account and put safeguards in place, aided greatly in the recovery of the funds.”

$194,672.76 was stolen on Tuesday of this week in the cyber attack.  Floyd County Police say $189,334.35 was recovered.
