Northwest University

A suspect, or ring of suspects, was able to hijack the school email account of Northwest University's chief financial officer.

The hacking of CFO John Jordan's email account has the Kirkland college out nearly $60,000.

The thieves secretly monitored Jordan's emails and, when a legitimate payment was due to a school vendor, the hackers re-routed the money.

No suspects have been arrested and the case is still being investigated.
