Nueces County officials announced on Oct. 15 that they have recovered the remainder of about $2 million in taxpayer funds that were lost in an email phishing scam that impacted the Nueces County Courthouse over the summer.

By working with the county’s depository, Frost Bank, the county recouped $1.94 million that officials said was misdirected in five separate instances of email phishing attacks that struck the courthouse in July.
