Fire chief’s hacked email quickly contained

The email account of Blackshear Fire Chief Bucky Goble was recently hacked and used to send out a wave of emails with a suspicious link to a drop box account.

Goble and Blackshear Police Chief Chris Wright moved quickly to notify recipients of the hacked email and to re-secure Goble’s account. Goble said he came in right away and changed his account password as soon as he was notified by phone about the unauthorized messages tied to his email account.

“It never got past our firewall,” said Wright.
