BEC, VEC, Check...What the Heck??

BEC, VEC, Check...What the Heck??

BEC scams (Business Email Compromise) continue to explode and are being augmented by VEC scams (Vendor Email Compromise) which target an organization’s vendors, not the organization itself. BEC scams are often paired with wire fraud, payment diversion, and account takeovers. Interestingly, BEC scams now integrate old-school check fraud. Fraud shifts between payment methods, but is not going away! Its scope expands astronomically through the integration of social engineering, technology, and payment systems old and new.

Attendees will understand how BEC, VEC, and check fraud scams play out, and will develop straight-forward, proactive controls to protect their organizations from fraud.
