This is what happens when an attacker conducts a successful business email attack.
Reconnaissance
The attacker gathers information about a company’s key personnel online, often using publicly available information on websites or social media.
Impersonation
The attacker creates an email account that looks very similar to a legitimate one, impersonating an executive or trusted business partner.
Malicious Email
The attacker sends an email from that account to a targeted individual, with a request to send information or send money to an account controlled by the attacker.
Successful Attack
The victim sends the sensitive data or money to the attacker. The data can be used to initiate additional attacks, or is sold on the dark web.
Erase Footprints
The attacker moves the stolen funds through multiple accounts to make it difficult to trace, and delete evidence of their attack to avoid detection.
