Did you know that your email is the number one threat factor inside your organization?

Business email compromise schemes, better known as B-E-C, are one of the most financially damagingcrimes to organizations. In 2020, 76 percent of organizations reported that they had experienced B-E-C fraud and criminals are escalating attacksagainst businesses like yours.

Here’s how criminals carry out B-E-C schemes:

First, they pick a target after conducting research. Criminals use search engines, your corporate website, even checking your social media accounts such as your LinkedIn profile to find personal and employment information.

They're looking for someone with payment access such as a treasury or accounting employee or someone who can direct a payment to be made such as a senior executive.

Once a victim has been identified, it’s time for the criminals to go “phishing”. They send a phishing email that looks authentic, but is fake. There may be anattachment in the email or there may be a link asking for the user to click for more information.

Clicking on that link or opening an attachment could compromise your email account or your computer. And all of this happens without your knowledge. Criminals now set the rules.

They can create inbox email forwarding rules so when keywords such as payment, wire, or invoice appear, the email is automatically directed to an external account controlled by the criminals.

They can also conceal emails from the user. But would you know how to spot the signs of a potential B-E-C scheme?Let’s see if you can spot the signs.

This email that appears to be a standard request from a trusted vendor asking for a change in banking instructions.

But let’s take a closer look.

First, the email is coming from a lookalike domain that is crafted to deceive the user. The real domain name has two “t's” in it, but the criminal registered a domain with just one “t” to trick the reader into thinking it came from the correct domain.

Second, a criminal may say the valid account can not be used anymore for a specific reason. Other warning signs include: A sense of urgency. You must act quickly or something will happen.

If the criminals are impersonating one of your executives, they may ask for a wire transfer immediately.

Asking for a payment to an overseas destination such as Hong Kong.

Does it make sense for your vendor to ask for an invoice payment to be made to an overseas bank account?

When you receive a request for payment, change in payment instructions, ora change in contact information, you need to validate the request before acting on it. Perform a callback to the actual person making the request directly before sending any payments. Look up the number for the requestor in your internal system of record and pick up the phone.Never use a phone number from an email to validate a payment. Confirmation with the actual requestor can stop a B-E-C scheme and protect your organization from a potentially devastating fraud loss.

If your bank calls about an unusual payment, treat the call seriously.

Confirm you've followed your internal controls including a callback. This may be your last opportunity to stop fraud!

But what should you do if you are impacted by a B-E-C scheme?

It is important to act quickly. Contact us immediately if you suspect you are the victim of a B-E-C scheme. You should file a report at the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov, contact your local FBI office and your local law enforcement agency to report the crime. In some cases, law enforcement can assist with the recovery of funds.

We have created a B-E-C toolkit for executives and payments employees to help keep your organization safe.Contact your relationship team for information.
