Sri Lankan Government Cybercrime Fraud

A Sri Lankan parliamentary committee investigation revealed that a USD 2.5 million fraud linked to cybercrime involved Treasury debt repayments to Export Finance Australia. The incident exposed weak internal controls, outdated email infrastructure, and governance failures.

Nothing says "we've got this" like losing 2.5 million dollars to a cybercrime scheme and then having a parliamentary committee conclude your email infrastructure was basically a geocities page from 2003. UNICEF's out here celebrating a century of public health progress while Treasury's email is still on dial-up—different energy.
