As we spend more time online, especially for work, we need to be extra careful about protecting our inboxes. Cybercriminals have a sneaky trick called “Business Email Compromise” (BEC) which is basically them pretending to be someone they’re not to trick you into giving them money or sensitive information.

Imagine getting an email that looks like it’s from your boss or a colleague, asking for an urgent money transfer or some confidential company info. You might not think twice about it and just do what the email says, right? Wrong. That’s exactly what the criminals are counting on. This kind of trickery is on the rise and it’s costing businesses a whole lot of money.

Businesses need strong security measures and training to spot these fake emails. That’s where a smart move can be reaching out to experts who know about these threats and how to prevent them. Diversified Outlook Group can give you a hand in beefing up your email security and educating your team on the lookout for these scams.
