- BEC:
- Business Email Compromise
Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a type of cybercrime where attackers impersonate a legitimate business or employee to deceive others into transferring funds or sensitive information. BEC schemes often involve social engineering tactics, such as spoofing email addresses or creating fake communication channels, to manipulate victims into taking action. Organizations can mitigate the risk of BEC by implementing security awareness training, multi-factor authentication, and robust email filtering solutions.
