Here's the kind of wire fraud that filters can't catch. A bookkeeper gets an email from a client's controller the afternoon before a settlement goes out. New bank, new account number. The thread is real. So is the address, because the attacker is writing from inside the controller's actual mailbox.
Every check comes back clean. No filter flags a message for being authentic.
That's why our guide for Dallas law firms splits the work 3 ways. Your IT provider handles phishing-resistant sign-in, impersonation protection, and alerts on new inbox rules. Your firm owns the callback rule, using a number already on file. Your bank handles dual approval and a hold on new payees.
Texas lost $304,318,015 to business email compromise in 2025, per the FBI.
