Brisbane retailer warns other businesses to be vigilant after being hit with $76,000 cyber crime.

The Brisbane store of safety wear brand Totally Workwear had its accounting system compromised in October last year, but the business only recently found out about the situation after a creditor told them there was a problem with their invoice payment. Article by Smart Company.

“We didn’t find out about it until we got calls from creditors who didn’t get paid,” the store’s director James Hogan tells SmartCompany.
