Basic
Description
Ransomware gets a lot of press, but business email compromise (BEC) has been far more lucrative. According to the Verizon 2021 Data Breach Investigations Report, BECs net the attacker nearly three times the median payout of a ransomware attack. In 2020, more than 19,000 businesses were targets of BEC attacks, with losses exceeding $1.8 billion. From the theft of small business payrolls to a thwarted $1 billion bank heist by North Korean government hackers, every organization has become a target.
This recorded session will introduce the concept of BEC, then cover the top BEC attacks, how they work and the steps to take if you or your client has been victimized.
