Business Email Compromise (BEC) is an increasingly common scam targeting companies and individuals who perform financial fund transfers.
These complex attacks work by threat actors hacking into corporate e-mail accounts and using the information to trick third-parties into making fraudulent wire transfers, with a heavy reliance on social engineering to convince somebody to hit send. This type of cybercrime can sometimes pay off better than ransomware-related compromise events, with the FBI reporting this type of attack costing organizations an estimated $1.77 billion in losses in 2019.
Luckily, these types of attacks are typically easy to spot early on. Here are a few warning signs you should be aware of that would tip you off.
