Unit 42 Cybercrime Casefiles - A business email compromise (BEC) investigation

An Inside Look into a Unit 42 Case Imagine you discover a payment from a customer never arrived and then realize you were the victim of business email compromise (BEC). Worse, the accountant’s email that was hijacked was protected by multifactor authentication (MFA), but attackers still found a way through. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to a Unit 42™ client at a time when threat actors are finding more ways to bypass MFA and cover their tracks. With so much room for human error, it may not come as a surprise that BEC made up over one-third of Unit 42 cases in 2022, and phishing was one of the top three access vectors used by attackers.
