The Business Email Compromise is a popular type of attack among cybercriminals as it targets businesses and individuals in an attempt to receive money transferred into fraudulent accounts.
In another method, the attackers use phishing, credential theft, or other means to gain control of the email accounts of the people they want to impersonate.
The attacker had the savvy to know which type of email account to set up, which officials to contact, how to design and write the purchase order, and which equipment to specify.
Protect your email traffic with at least one layer of an advanced email security solution from a known vendor.
Make sure you are using an email security solution that blocks sophisticated phishing attacks like BEC to prevent them from reaching employee mailboxes in the first place.
