Last year, around $500,000.00 was stolen from the Cooperstown Central School District in a sophisticated cybercrime scheme, officials say.
“In late September 2024, the New York State Police was notified by the Cooperstown School District regarding a financial cybercrime in which the district suffered a loss of approximately $500,000.00,” New York State Police Troop C Public Information Officer Aga Tinker responded to a recent inquiry by AllOtsego. “State Police investigators have been working diligently on the case. At this time, no arrests have been made. The investigation remains ongoing, and no additional details will be released to protect the integrity of the investigation.”
School Board President Peter Iorizzo shared information about the theft at a March 2025 school board meeting.
