Je te plumerai le BEC

Here’s rather a good article from Brian Krebs (not that I’d expect less). It looks at the evolution of the classic Nigerian 419 scam into other areas, including romance scams, account takeovers (‘Londoning’ for example), money mule recruitment, and phishing – but primarily (in this article) on Business Email Compromise (BEC).

Most of the article is devoted to an interview with Flashpoint’s Ronnie Tokazowski, something of a specialist in BEC. Good reading.
