Many of the companies that have received the money are registered in port cities such as Raohe, Fuyuan, Jixi City, Xunke, Tongjiang and Dongning. The companies appear to be legitimately registered businesses and typically have accounts at the Agricultural Bank of China, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and t...
So far, the break-ins have siphoned $11 million out of SMB accounts. In all, the crooks have attempted to steal $20 million from SMBs in the past month, the alert warned.
Such online account takeovers are not new. The FBI, the FS-ISAC and NACHA, the body that oversees the ACH network, issued a similar warning in the fall of 2009.
At that time, the FBI said several new cases were reported weekly. In most instances, the crooks used sophisticated keystroke logging and Trojan horse programs to steal log-in credentials from company employees authorized to initiate funds transfers on behalf of their employers, the FBI noted in its 2009 alert.
The same warnings were repeated in this week's alert. The alert noted that the malware used in the recent attacks had not been identified in all cases, but at least some instances involved the ZeuS banking Trojan, the Backdoor.bot keylogger and Spybot, an IRC backdoor Trojan.
In addition, one victim reported being hit with malware that allowed hackers to completely erase the hard disk of the infected computer before any investigations could be done, the alert said.
The FBI alerts urged banks to notify customers if they notice any wire transfers destined for Raohe, Fuyuan, Jixi City, Xunke, Tongjiang or Dongning.
Avivah Litan, an analyst at Gartner, said banks need to do more to protect themselves from such attacks, especially since they are in a better position to tackle the problem.
"These attacks are using the same techniques that have been used for a couple of years against business bank accounts and more recently against enterprise systems and security companies," Litan said. "The attacks keep coming, because most banks have yet to build up sufficient defenses.
There has been speculation that the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), a standards-setting body for the financial services industry, could soon require banks to implement stronger forms of user authentication, but no action has been taken.
A Gartner survey conducted in February found that many banks continue to rely on "crude" security measures, such as cookies and secret questions, to protect online accounts, Litan said.
"Nearly two-thirds of the surveyed banks manage their fraud detection and customer authentication projects by committee, which means [security is] always someone else's responsibility. It should come as no surprise, then, that the attacks are succeeding."

And leans into the beefcake.
But not to worry. Most local fishermen stayed with their vessels through the storm and — with the resilience the trade has always required — are making their way to recovery.
There’s one clear, immediate impact on local seafood: There are still no fresh local oysters in South Carolina after Hurricane Matthew.
On Oct. 7, a day before the hurricane, all oyster beds in the state were closed. Run-off from heavy rainfall and possible sewage overflows in a hurricane can elevate bacteria levels in local waters, making oysters unsafe to eat.
The beds will be closed for an estimated 21 days and won’t be reopened until regulators from the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control can confirm safe bacteria levels, according to the agency.
The delay comes after the beginning of the season was already pushed back a month this year because of unusually warm waters.
In time, however, any bacteria from the storm should wash away with the tide, Reaves said. Oysters are also their own filtration systems, with each mollusk able to filter 50 gallons of water a day.
The condition of the oyster reefs when the season resumes is also not completely clear, said Larry Toomer, owner of Bluffton Oyster Co., a longtime oyster-shucking business.
A hurricane doesn’t necessarily mean a wipe-out of local shrimp either, according to Reaves.
The weather tends to drive shrimp offshore, which can actually make them easier to catch, but that benefit might be outweighed by the problems caused for shrimpers by debris from the storm, Reaves said.
Local waters are full of pieces of damaged docks, boats and waterside homes.
The long-term impact on local shrimp populations is also still not clear, local shrimpers say.
There was some dock and boat damage reported at iconic Beaufort County seafood spots, but most were spared major destruction.
At the Benny Hudson Seafood dock on Hilton Head Island, part of the pilings were torn away when shrimp captain Charles Abner’s boat the “Lady Bernice” was torn from the dock and flung about 200 yards in the storm, though the main dock is still standing.
At the Bluffton Oyster Co., Toomer said he had to dispose of all the company’s frozen stock when the power went out in the storm and he lost some crab traps, but there was no major dock damage. The family’s 76-foot shrimp boat “Daddy’s Girl” was left intact.
North of the Broad River, most docks used by Sea Eagle Market and its parent company, CJ Seafood, the county’s largest seafood wholesaler, came through the storm unscathed, apart from some cleanup, owner Reaves said.
Gay Fish Co., located alongside the Harbor River on St. Helena Island, had some damage to its dock and water intrusion into the market during the storm, but the boats were not damaged, said Robert Gay.

In today's highly competitive marketplace, most insurance companies have already streamlined their operations to optimise cost structures. Commoditisation of markets and lower investment returns are keeping pressure on insurers to tightly manage expense ratios.
Historically, the insurance industry has accepted some level of incurred losses as a cost of doing business—10 percent is the industry average. As reported in recent headlines, fraud is on the rise as organised crime rings take advantage of regulation loopholes, overworked adjusters and investigators, easier access to ...
How was anyone to know Main Street Cafe would go postal?
For years, it was a familiar sight in downtown Willimantic. A quiet neighbor. Never bothered anyone.
But something happened when it moved down the street a block or so, elbow to bent elbow with Eastern Connecticut State University. It took over the former post office (that was probably the first clue), changed its name to Willimantic Brewing Co./Main Street Cafe and developed an eerie Cliff Clavinesque infatuation wit...
Letters and Tomatoes? Zoup Code? Freight on Bread? Priority Meal? Pastage Due? And all those names off the menu, stamped with local postmarks like the Tolland Turnpike and Killingly Softly burgers and Chaplin Chicken.
Just to show that it is no Johnny-come-philately (hey, two can play at this), the new Main Street Cafe also promises a seven-barrel brewing system will be installed this summer.
It's just what the beleaguered downtown area needed -- a relaxed fit in the post office constructed in 1909 of granite and limestone. But even in this massive new location, owners David and Cindy Wollner have retained some of the charming quirkiness of the old Main Street Cafe.
There's a 60-foot mahogany bar, surely one of the state's longest, split 30 feet smoking, 30 feet nonsmoking. Any smoke gets swept up in the jetstream -- the ceiling is that high.
A retro, kind-o'-hip, kind-o'-now mural towers over the main dining room. With no satellite dish or cable television, entertainment begins and ends with piped-in music and beamed-in trivia games on TV. On a good night, you'll get Miles Davis and your name on the trivia leader board. On a bad night, you'll get Kenny G a...
Either way, it'll be enough to make you, too, go postal -- again.
Arborg Athletics centre Connor Yarema was named an A/AA/AAA graduating all-star by Basketball Manitoba on April 3. As such, the Meleb product will take part in the A/AA/AAA boys’ all-star game, which will take place at St. Paul’s High School in Winnipeg on April 13 at 2 p.m.
Yarema led Arborg’s varsity boys’ team to a silver medal at the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association A provincial championship last month, where he was named a tournament all-star.
Meanwhile, Alex Chester and Grace Goodman led the Warren Wildcats varsity girls’ basketball team to two consecutive MHSAA provincial AA championships, and now they too were recognized for their outstanding play by Basketball Manitoba.
The Warren teammates were named graduating all-stars by the provincial hoops organization and they will take part in the A/AA/AAA girls’ all-star game, which starts on April 13 at 10 a.m.
Chester and Goodman will be on Team Rogers, while a pair of Stonewall Rams, Rikki Frost-Hunt and Hunter Luprypa, will be on Team Wilson after being named graduating all-stars.
The beer, wine and food bonanza is the main fundraiser each year for Kewaunee and Dyckesville Lions Clubs and the programs they support.
LUXEMBURG - Roar Off the Shore Brewfest features more than 200 craft beers supplied by 50-plus breweries — including a handful of home brewers; more than 50 wines from six area wineries; and food from nine local vendors, ranging from cheese to bakery to barbecue.
If all that isn't enough, the drinking and eating is for good causes, too — raising funds for a number of local nonprofit organizations and events.
That's what drives the Kewaunee and Dyckesville Lions Clubs to present their hugely popular 13th-annual Roar Off the Shore Brewfest, taking place Saturday at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds.
The beer, wine and food bonanza is the main fundraiser each year for the two clubs and the programs they support. Like other teens, its growth has been noteworthy — it went from generating about $100 total in its first year about $10,000 for each club last year, said John Mastalir, treasurer for the Kewaunee Lions and ...
Yet, Roar Off the Shore might not have had the chance to grow. There were doubts about how well the event would work when it first was organized by the Kewaunee Lions.
"Kewaunee started it as a trial on a three-year basis," Mastalir said. "We had a bunch of young guys (join) and they said something that might go over is a brewfest. Lemme tell ya, I was one of those that was skeptical. There wasn't anything like that around here. We agreed as a club that we would stick with it for thr...
Originally held at Heritage Farm south of Kewaunee, the brewfest — called Roar On the Shore until the "On" changed to "Off" in 2017 — doubled its revenue from the first year to the second, to $200. The Dyckesville Lions took part with a food booth those years, but with the festival's growing popularity, the Kewaunee cl...
"After the second year, things started going better for the event, and (the Kewaunee Lions) didn't have the manpower," said Jeff Dorner, treasurer for the Dyckesville Lions. "So, they asked us to get involved."
The venue also changed in their third year. Heritage Farm was able to host about 200 people, "and we just plumb ran out of room," Mastalir said, so the brewfest moved to what now is Lakehaven Hall in Kewaunee, which can hold about 500, and had more space for the brewers.
Good thing, too, because the event blossomed to take in about $1,000 that year.
But by 2012, with wineries and food vendors joining the breweries and the festival regularly testing the hall's pre-renovation capacity organizers were open to finding a larger space for the brewfest. Fortunately, the county completed its Exhibition Hall at the fairgrounds in Luxemburg, and the organizers were impresse...
"The year that the expo building was finished at the fairgrounds, the county came to us and said, why don't you come over here?" Mastalir said. "We went and took a look at it and said, holy wah!"
"Before (Lakehaven) was renovated, we needed to come and put up lights, needed to install port-a-potties," Dorner said. "When the fairgrounds building became available, there was no question what we should do. It's probably the biggest hall in Kewaunee County, it's open, it's airy, has nice facilities."
The move enabled Roar Of the Shore to admit more and more beer aficionados, as well as expand its offerings. Local brewers taking part include Ahanapee Brewing in Algoma and Thumb Knuckle Brewing Co. in Walhain, along with brewers from Door County and the Green Bay area, but they're joined by breweries from all across ...
And, Mastalir noted the home brewers might provide a look into the future for beer tasters — he said one that formerly took part in the brewfest returns this year as PetSkull Brewing, a brewpub in Manitowoc.
"In our last meeting, we had to say no to a couple of breweries that didn't reply soon enough and we had no room for them," Mastalir said. "This year will be the most (vendors) we've had."
Local wineries taking part are Parallel 44 in Kewaunee, Cold Country Vines and Wines in Carlton and von Stiehl in Algoma, with nearby Duck Creek Winery in Denmark also attending.
Putting together an event of this size doesn't happen overnight, of course. The planning committee of nine people traditionally meets about a week and a half after the festival each year to start planning the next one, Dorner said. It gets together once a month after that for the next four or five months, then twice a ...
"Everyone has their little piece of pie to take care of," Dorner said. "It all works together."
The funds go toward a variety of local programs. Dorner said the Dyckesville Lions have offered much of their portion of the revenues over the years for improvements to Red River County Park and its baseball field, this year adding fencing and a batting cage, as well as the Lions Club Park in the village.
Mastalir said the Kewaunee club uses its funds to back a number of organizations and projects around the city, including Special Olympics and a five-year improvement project at Bruemmer Park Zoo.
And, both contribute to local efforts for the Lions' national causes of blindness, vision and diabetes care.
"The nice thing is, much of the money raised stays right here," Mastalir said.
Roar Off the Shore Brewfest takes place from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday in Exhibition Hall at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds, 625 Third St. Luxemburg.
Admission is $40 in advance, $45 at the door and includes beer, wine and food samples and a commemorative glass; $10 for designated drivers includes free soda throughout the event. All proceeds benefit programs supported by the Kewaunee and Dyckesville Lions Clubs.
Bus rides to and from the brewfest depart for the event at 1:30 p.m. from Ahnapee Brewing, then Steele Street Hops in Algoma; and from The Cannery in Green Bay; the Kewaunee bus is full.
All buses leave the event soon after it ends. Registration is required and an advance ticket or receipt for an online ticket purchase is required to board. The fee for the Green Bay bus is $5.
For tickets or more information, call 920-388-3553 or visit roarofftheshore.com; bus registration is under the "Tickets" tab. Tickets also are available at Ahnapee Brewery in Algoma, Bank of Luxemburg branch offices, Blue Water Services and Port O'Call restaurant in Kewaunee, Van's Lumber in Dyckesville and Lemhouse & ...
THERE was a time, as Martin Skrtel would testify, that a barren patch in front of goal for Christian Benteke was the cue for scathing criticism of the Liverpool defender’s own capabilities.
Brendan Rodgers was at his most cutting when, in the aftermath of an abject FA Cup defeat to Oldham during his first season in charge, he pummelled his players’ attributes with not one but two stinging jabs.
“The boy [Matt] Smith had not scored a goal at home in two years and he came up against two big units at centre-half,” raged Rodgers. “He has come out of university football and he looks like Didier Drogba.
Skrtel was the common denominator in defence for both games and yet, at Wembley on Sunday, Rodgers will be praying Benteke conducts another vanishing act.
If Liverpool are to reach a first major final since 2012, then Skrtel’s high-octane battle with the marauding Belgium forward feels key.
Though he and his team-mates have suffered in the past, the Slovakia international maintains he prefers the collision course which will ensue and the demand on him to go not only toe-to-toe with his foe but head-to-head.
“I prefer to play against the type of striker like him, like Diego Costa,” said Skrtel. “That is better because for me I don’t want to chase the little guys!
“Obviously I don’t want to say it is easier for me, but I enjoy that more. I’m tall as well and try to be strong. When we go to the challenge like 50-50, we see who is better in that moment.
“He is playing well at the moment. After they changed the manager, they are doing well. He is always difficult to play against but we played against him once this season and we could handle him. I just hope we can do that again.
“He is the type of player you have to expect a physical battle from because he is big and strong. He is quick, so it will be difficult, but we are ready for that and we will do everything possible to stop him.
