The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has successfully recovered nearly $5 million in funds that were lost due to a business email compromise (BEC) scheme. This fraudulent operation specifically targeted a labor union based in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The recovery was part of a broader effort to combat cybercrime, with the DoJ announcing the forfeiture of the funds on March 26, 2025.
