Stop! 🛑 And Think Before You Act on That Email 📧.
In this video, we’re diving deep into the world of Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, a prevalent and costly form of cybercrime that could be lurking in your inbox. BEC attacks occur when cybercriminals gain access to your business email account and manipulate your employees, customers, or partners into sending them money or sensitive information. You might reckon this is a problem exclusive to large corporations, but that’s far from the truth. The FBI has reported that small and medium-sized businesses are equally susceptible to these attacks. In fact, BEC attacks have cost businesses a whopping $26 billion USD over the past few years.
