Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a type of cybercrime where attackers use email to impersonate company executives, employees, or trusted vendors. Their goal is to trick employees into transferring money, sharing sensitive information, or revealing login credentials. BEC attacks often involve careful research and social engineering to make the fraudulent messages appear authentic. These scams can lead to significant financial loss and data breaches for organizations of all sizes. Awareness and verification procedures are key defenses against BEC.
