1. The Community College of Baltimore County is facing a financial loss after becoming the victim of a phishing attack. On Wednesday, the college issued a press release stating that a slight financial loss resulted from the attack, and they are cooperating with law enforcement and banking officials to investigate the matter. At this time, no evidence has been released that indicates any student or employee's personal information was compromised. (Patch)
2. A school bus collided with a vehicle in Baltimore County on Wednesday afternoon, according to a statement from Baltimore County Police Department. While the bus had students on board, no one on the bus was injured during the accident that occurred at I-695 and Reisterstown Road in nearby Pikeville.
