Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks involve hackers gaining access to corporate email accounts to trick employees into transferring funds. Key prevention strategies include reviewing fund transfer authorization processes, training employees to spot red flags like spoofed domains and urgency cues, always verifying financial requests via phone rather than email alone, enforcing multi-person approval workflows, and investing in security awareness training with mock simulations. A layered approach combining internal policies, employee training, and dedicated security tools is recommended.
