?? Decoding Business Email Compromise in the Age of ChatGPT ?? As threat actors exploit Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT (or it's "unethical" alternatives), Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks are becoming more sophisticated than ever. These attackers are now able to craft personalized, realistic emails that slip past traditional security measures, posing a significant risk to organizations. Our whitepaper, "Decoding BEC in the Age of ChatGPT," dives deep into these advanced tactics and provides actionable insights for protecting your organization. ?? Inside the whitepaper: ?? How cybercriminals leverage AI tools to increase the believability and success rates of phishing emails. ?? Key strategies to identify and block AI-generated BEC attacks before they reach your employees. ?? Real-world examples of AI-driven phishing attempts and the impact they have on businesses. ?? Best practices for enhancing email security and adapting to the growing influence of AI in cyber threats. BEC’s popularity among attackers is no surprise—it’s easier than ever to exploit human vulnerability, as users often place too much trust in email identities, making them prime targets for deception. The result? A costly threat that organizations can’t afford to overlook. Download the full whitepaper here: https://hubs.la/Q02ZVXcG0 #EmailSecurity #ChatGPT #BusinessEmailCompromise

Phishing attacks using URL rewriting are on the rise, as covered in SC Media's article about our discovery. Here’s how it works: attackers exploit Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) and URL rewriting services, which sometimes whitelist their own domains. This means that links wrapped by these services can bypass their own scans—pretty clever, right? It gets worse: attackers often use compromised accounts to spread these phishing links. They can target multiple organizations, hop between URL rewriting services, and even create “double rewrite attacks,” layering redirects to hide their true intent. Just because an email is protected by a SEG or security system doesn’t mean every link is safe. Always think twice before clicking, even if it looks legitimate at first glance.
