What Is Business Email Compromise (BEC)?
In a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scam, attackers claim to be a trusted entity — either internal or external — before using context, persuasion, and urgency to attempt financial or data theft from targeted accounts.
Globally, business email compromise attacks result in billions of dollars in losses for companies each year. Reported losses from BEC complaints increased from $1.29 billion in 2018 to $1.86 billion in 2020.
Armorblox Is Designed to Prevent Today’s Advanced Business Email Compromise Attacks
Vendor Email CompromiseThese “long con” attacks utilize compromised third-party vendor email accounts to defraud organizations of money and sensitive data.
Executive ImpersonationAttackers impersonate trusted executives — like the CEO or CFO — and persuade target employees to take actions that lead to compromise.
Payroll Diversion FraudAn attacker, posing as an employee, emails the HR department and changes direct deposit information to fraudulently transfer funds to an external account.
Credential PhishingCriminals steal credentials by posing as a reputable entity through emails and fake login pages. They can then use the victim’s credentials to carry out a secondary attack or extract data.
