TUNKHANNOCK, WYOMING COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU-TV) — Tunkhannock Borough Municipal Authority’s email has been hacked according to office manager Luanne Snover.

The office manager warns anyone who receives this email to ignore it, adding they would never ask for money or gift cards in this way.

At this time, law enforcement has been notified and the borough is working with to fix this issue. No update on when this will be corrected has been received.
