OVERVIEW

What are Business Email Compromise Attacks? How do they happen?

A Business Email Compromise or a BEC attack is carried out by cybercriminals sending an email to employees of an organization making it appear like it is from a genuine source for achievement of various malicious objectives. These objectives include – the extraction of sensitive personal and financial information, delivery of malicious payloads like malware, making their targets engage in financial transactions, and orchestrating bigger and more serious attacks like data breaches or ransomware attacks.

In a typical BEC attack, a cybercriminal develops a profile of a business and its employees and uses social engineering methods to persuade them (may take days, weeks, or even months) into exchanging information, downloading malware, and engaging in a financial transaction.

The risks associated with BEC attacks include compromise of accounts, sensitive personal and financial information, financial loss, compromise of network, disruption in operations, and reputational damage.
