One area in 2019 that has really taken off is Business Email Compromise (BEC). This has led to losses of $26 billion (around £20 billion) by businesses across the world. A juicy and lucrative crime like BEC will no doubt run on and on. The use of deepfakes, as in the example above, will no doubt see increasing levels of BEC fraud during 2020. As smaller organisations tend to have fewer resources to build protection against cybercrime, it is likely that BEC fraudsters will focus on specific areas that SMBs work in. To counter BEC fraud, companies have to focus on more operational type defences, including security awareness, and processes such as double checks when certain payments are made.
