Business email compromise (BEC) is a form of email fraud. Typically it involves targeting employees with access to company finances and using social engineering to trick them into making money transfers to the bank accounts of the fraudster. Often email spoofing is used to create an email pretending to be from the CEO, or a trusted customer.[1]

The worldwide financial impact is large, with the US's FBI in 2017 reporting losses, "...now totaling over $3 billion.”[2]

From 2016 to 2018 BEC made over $5 billion. By 2020 there are expected to be 20 billion connected IoT devices, making it easier for adversaries to successfully carry out ransomware attacks including BEC[3].
