€1.2M cyber fraud hits Limassol firm

Date:

Limassol Traffic Police Department investigates a new cyber fraud case where a company reported losing €1.2 million. The 35-year-old owner, whose firm is registered abroad but maintains an office in Limassol, filed the complaint on Monday.

Fraudulent transfers discovered

The company had agreed with an investment firm and sent two transfers in November and December 2025: €900,000 and €300,000. These went to an account indicated via emails.

Company checks revealed its email had been compromised, receiving fake messages that directed funds to a wrong account instead of the legitimate investment firm’s.
