On its face, the email looked legitimate. The address was correct but the message was alarming. Why would Glencoe-Silver Lake Superintendent Chris Sonju want district staff to immediately cut a check for thousands of dollars to someone the school district had never done business with?
Questioning the email’s legitimacy, a staff member brought the email to Michelle Sander, the district’s business manager. She immediately recognized it as a phishing scheme, a fraudulent attempt to steal money. Sander knew someone had obtained Sonju’s email address and used it nefariously.
