Business Email Compromise: The Scam That Targets Finance Teams
Olorun Cloud

No malware, no zero-days — just convincing impersonation. And it costs businesses billions.

How the Scam Works

An attacker studies your company, then emails your finance team as a supplier changing banking details, or as an executive demanding an urgent payment. No links, no attachments — nothing for antivirus to catch.

Built for Your Business

The defences are procedural: out-of-band verification of every banking detail change, payment approvals that require two people, and a team trained to treat urgency as a red flag.
