What is BEC and EAC?

    • Business Email Compromise (BEC) - BEC attacks ask the victim to send money or personal information out of the organization. Attackers do this by spoofing a person in authority, such as a CEO or VP of Finance.
    • Email Account Compromise (EAC) - EAC can occur if a threat actor successfully tricks a victim into providing their credentials or accesses an account through other means. If an account is compromised, it can be used to move laterally inside an organization, steal data, or fraudulently communicate with your business partners or customers.

BEC Live Demo: Detect and Block BEC Scams with Proofpoint

Thomas O'Leary, Email Fraud Defense Product Specialist at Proofpoint

Business Email Compromise (BEC) often starts with an email in which attackers pretend to be someone the victim trusts. The message makes a seemingly legitimate business request that usually involves wire transfer or financial payment. Common BEC tactics include domain spoofing, display name spoofing, and lookalike domains. None of these emails carries malicious payload, and they are narrowly targeted at few people within an organization. Therefore, it is hard to detect these new forms of email threat.
