KITCHENER – A lottery win for a Guelph couple, surveillance video shedding new details on a train crash and more. Here's a look at this week's top stories.
Waterloo Brewing loses $2.1 million in wire transfer scam
A "social engineering cyberattack" that cost a local brewery more than $2 million was discovered this past week.
Waterloo Brewing says someone claiming to be a creditor convinced someone to send them money through wire transfers.
“These attackers are very well informed,” says Kerschbaum. “They know who they need to impersonate, they know who they need to request it from.”
Experts say schemes like these are hard to spot because they rely on human interactions.
Two years ago, Menosh Hakim had his restaurant on Fairway Road taken to accommodate phase one of LRT construction.
Now, he's facing losing half of his property and his river view in Hidden Valley as the region plans the next phase of LRT from Fairview Park Station to Cambridge.
That expansion is set to affect some 256 properties in total.
Jennifer Armstrong's family confirmed to CTV News this week that she's in stable condition.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the moments leading up to the train hitting Armstrong and a six-year-old boy.
The owner of that business, Marc Laderoute, says it appeared that Armstrong was trying to push the boy out of the way of the train when they were both hit.
