Fraudulent email can affect companies of every size, from a small administrative team to an international business.
Invoice and bank-detail fraud
A counterfeit supplier update sends a legitimate payment to a criminal’s account. The mistake may not be noticed until the real supplier asks why the invoice is unpaid.
Business Email Compromise
An attacker impersonates a trusted person or hijacks a genuine mailbox to request money or sensitive information.
Credential phishing
A convincing login page tricks a colleague into sharing a password, potentially opening access to further messages and files.
Malicious documents
Documents that look routine may contain dangerous content or direct employees toward fraudulent websites.
Lookalike domains
One changed letter in a sender’s address can be enough to imitate a familiar brand, supplier or colleague.
Ransomware and disruption
An email may be the first step toward unavailable files, interrupted services and expensive recovery work.
