Defend Against Business Email Compromise


Would you believe even the owner of multi-national companies, such as Google, Amazon, and KFC, are targets for business email compromise? Note that targets, not victims. It is one nasty cyberattack that could destroy a whole company in a matter of minutes.

What else an attacker going to do after getting inside your system or having the business email? You might think that someone got user login credentials with a scam email. It could happen that the attacker purchased the details on the dark web or let you believe something else through an email.

First of all, there is no person or company present whose login details are not on sale. Do you remember the data-stealing attack where Canva’s users information had a full-on sale? If yes, perhaps that’s how it happened.

Likely, this cyberattack has a high success rate because a user highly craves to click a link or trust a request from a friend or relative. Attackers follow steps before they can actually have your money or information.

An attacker will research you and your company, short-listed potential victims; build a fake persona; use  your personal information to lure you; get you to believe on something, share back details, and then have the money that’s what the person wants.

In most cases, an attacker uses the business email compromise attack because of sensitive data, fund transfer, or to steal your clients’ information to sell on the dark web.

With a cybersecurity company, such as CSIntelligence, your employees will receive well-trained and well-established information on how to prevent this threat. Here a tip: never open an email whose sender has a .xyz domain name.

We use advanced and expert strategies to filter such emails separately to identify and delete compromising emails. The most common words that these emails have are payment, help, transfer, and urgent.

If you are looking for robust email security to protect your whole network with protection from other cyberattacks, get in touch with us for more information on cyberattacks, such as DoS, phishing, email hijacking, and business email compromise
