• Municipal Bond Market - Serving Communities, Protecting Public Funds and Financing Integrity (in.gov) — White Lake Township is highlighted as a real-world example of how a cybercriminal hijacked email communications during a $29 million bond deal, diverting public funds and forcing the bonds’ cancellation.
