What Is Business Email Compromise (BEC)?

At its core, Business Email Compromise scams leverage deceptive communication, often through email, to trick your employees into transferring funds to fraudulent accounts.

Scammers achieve their goal by sending legitimate-looking phishing emails, often using spoofed email addresses that impersonate trusted individuals, such as CEOs, executives, or vendors. These tactics prey on trust and authority within an organization, leading employees to unwittingly transfer funds or sensitive information to cyber criminals. Business compromise examples include:

  • CEO Fraud
  • Vendor Fraud
  • Invoice Fraud
  • Account Takeover
  • Gift Card Fraud
  • Real Estate Wire Fraud

How to Protect Your Company from Business Email Compromise Attacks

Your company's email is the gateway for potentially crippling cyber attacks, and the threat is increasing exponentially. According to the FBI's 2022 Internet Crime Report, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received more than 21,000 complaints of BEC, with losses totaling over 2 billion dollars.

Implementing stringent controls, educating employees, and adopting sophisticated email verification tools are vital steps in mitigating these financial dangers.
