Dubuque’s Five Flags Center announced Monday that all funds targeted by foreign hackers had been recovered. A release states that the wire transfer of the targeted funds had been stopped before the transfer could be completed. Five Flags Center General Manager H.R. Cook said it was the best possible outcome to what was a very stressful situation over the past month. Cook commended the efforts of MidWestOne Bank, ASM Global’s Security and Information Technology departments and the federal law enforcement agents who worked hard to ensure a successful outcome. The Dubuque Police Department previously reported that $300,000 was targeted by hackers through an unauthorized transaction made via MidWestOne Bank last month.
