NCAM CyberHoot: Business E-mail Compromise

October is National CyberSecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). It is a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity.

CyberHoot is helping further the mission “to ensure that all Americans have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online.”

The FBI claims that over 50% of the 6 Trillion dollars lost to hackers and is due to Business Email Compromise (aka: BEC).  That staggering statistic is what this video seeks to explain when it details what BEC is and how it is most often used to commit wire fraud.  This video also provides some practical advice to prevent BEC from impacting you and your business.
