Understanding Business Email Compromise (BEC): How It Works | Huntress
Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks involve threat actors impersonating trusted sources to extract sensitive information from targeted individuals. BEC scams rely on social engineering and credential compromise to infiltrate organizational email systems and facilitate fraudulent transactions or data theft.
Why it matters: Organizations and their employees face financial loss and data exfiltration when BEC attacks succeed; practitioners should ensure email authentication controls (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) are deployed and staff training on email verification protocols is current.
