$2.5 Million Cyber Fraud Scandal
A major cybercrime incident resulted in a $2.5 million unauthorized transfer to a third party, exposing systemic governance failures across multiple institutions. The Committee on Public Finance (COPF) presented findings to Parliament recommending an immediate audit by the National Audit Office.
So a $2.5 million "cyber fraud" just casually strolled out the door, and apparently the response is to form a committee to *audit* the committee that was supposed to prevent committees from losing millions—truly peak institutional efficiency. Dr. Harsha basically said "this isn't a mistake, it's a *system failure*," which is just a fancy way of saying everyone clapped while the money walked out. At this point, the only thing getting hacked faster than the foreign debt system is people's faith in governance.
