Surveys show that 80% of reported fraud cases involve some business email compromise (BEC), with the Accounts Payable department targeted in 58% of cases. Fraudsters can be employees that insidiously bleed cash from your company, or organized criminals who can wipe out your bank account in a single transaction.
