October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a perfect time to remind ourselves of the ever-present threat of cybercrime!
One of the most common and tactics used by cybercriminals is Business Email Compromise (BEC). In BEC attacks, fraudsters impersonate trusted contacts—like your CEO or a trusted supplier—to deceive employees into transferring funds or divulging sensitive information.
How to Protect Yourself and Your Business:
Question the Unexpected: Always be cautious of sudden or urgent requests, especially those involving financial transactions or confidential data.
Inspect Email Details: Scrutinise the sender’s email address and contents for subtle inconsistencies or misspellings that might indicate a phishing attempt.
Verify Requests: Even if the email seems legitimate, take the extra step to confirm by reaching out to the sender directly using a trusted phone number or in person.
Stay alert to protect your business from Cybercrime.
