Hilliard's finance director was fired and an assistant quit amid a phishing attack that cost the city almost a quarter million dollars last year.
Hilliard police are investigating an e-mail phishing incident in December that resulted in the theft of nearly $219,000 and the firing of the city's finance director.
A day later, the city paid that account $218,992.06. Taking such actions is part of the standard work of an accounting assistant, but there is a verification protocol that was not followed, according to city officials. City Manager Michelle Crandall in a written statement said the city is committed to finding the perpetrator.
On Feb. 6, Crandall placed the finance employee and Finance Director David Delande on paid administrative leave. Delande, who had more than five years in the post, was fired Monday, in part because he waited 35 days to inform his superiors about the incident. The assistant has resigned.
