In this special episode of Uninterrupted, the Cybersecurity Podcast from 4BIS Cyber Security & IT Services, we pull back the curtain on real-world Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks including one that happened the same day we recorded this.
We walk through exactly how threat actors are using phishing emails and session token theft to bypass multi-factor authentication, gain access to Office 365 accounts, and position themselves for financial fraud or data theft. And more importantly how we detect it in seconds, respond immediately, and recover before any real damage is done.
In this episode:
• How a phishing email led to a real-time BEC incident at a client
• What session token theft is and why MFA alone isn't enough
• How Microsoft 365 logging delays impact your response time
• Real attack data: 5 incidents, thousands of emails accessed, and a nearly $400K wire fraud
• How conditional access policies can stop attackers even after credentials are stolen
• How we detect latent compromises that happened weeks before we were even engaged
• Why YOUR security posture affects the companies around you
The bottom line: You're not too small to get hacked. You're just too small to make the news.
If your IT company isn't having these conversations with you, it's time to find one that will. Reach out to 4BIS for a consulting session or security audit we’ll show you exactly where you stand.
