Email spoofing is on the rise

Email Spoofing is on the rise; and is costing businesses billions of pounds.

A recent article from BBC illustrates how big the problem actually is and explains the tactics used by cybercriminals to trick you out of money, whether it’s CEO Fraud, Monday Morning’s or Fake Forwards…..the cyber criminals are using emails that are just not to be trusted.

Also, within the article Ryan Kalember from Proofpoint shares insight and information on this very important topic commenting: “Business Email Compromise (BEC) is the most expensive problem in all of cyber-security. There is not a single other form of cyber-crime that has the same degree of scope in terms of money lost.”
