Cyberthieves steal $400,000 from Bank of America

Residents and city workers in Burlington, Wash., have been told to check their accounts after $400,000 was stolen from a city bank account.

City officials believe that the security breach resulted from the infiltration of a government account used to pay workers in the town, which is about 65 miles north of Seattle.

Although the exact amount of money stolen is not fully tallied, more than $400,000 has been transferred over the past two days, according to Seattle-based KOMO News.
