Your CEO sends you an email asking for a quick money transfer.
You act immediately to solve the issue because it is urgent in order to please your boss.
Awful news You've just become a victim of a BEC (bee-eee-see), or business email compromise, attack.
Cybercriminals hack into the email system of your company and use it to pose as other people. They take advantage of high-stress circumstances since they are aware that haste causes people to lose their ability to think effectively.
Do not assume that it cannot occur to you. Both small and large businesses are susceptible.
Over the previous few years, these attacks have cost corporations more than $26 billion. Furthermore, according to Microsoft, they are becoming harder to find and more harmful.
