When cybersecurity advances made hacking a more expensive illegal pursuit, would-be digital thieves switched to social engineering more and more. As long as they could get insiders to trust them, they could make off with company assets in an easier way than fighting the built-in cyber-defenses. That’s why Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks have risen so much over the past few years.
Almost every month brings yet more news of successful BEC scams. It’s usually public institutions, like city administrations or hospitals, who get targeted by these scams the most. But businesses also make ripe targets for scammers. On average, a successful BEC scam can cost companies around $59,000 per incident, and from July 2016 to July 2019, the total losses caused by BEC scams surpassed $26 billion, according to FBI’s data.
