Main vectors of attacks employing social engineering and how TrueBust minimises them.

CEO Fraud

CEO fraud is a type of cybercrime where attackers impersonate a company’s CEO or senior executive to trick employees into transferring money or sensitive information.

CEO fraud is committed by attackers impersonating a CEO or executive using faked emails or hacked accounts, then sending urgent requests to staff for money transfers or sensitive information. They use social engineering strategies to pressure and persuade the target into acting hastily and without verification.

TrueBust protects against CEO fraud by using its Request-Verification-System (RVS) to verify the authenticity of any requests in real time. This system allows employees to confirm the legitimacy of phone calls, video calls or messages from executives or external sources.

BEC Fraud

Business Email Compromise fraud is a sort of cybercrime in which attackers imitate business executives or trusted entities in order to deceive employees into transferring money or sensitive information, typically over email.

BEC fraud is done by attackers who research a company, then use spoofed or hacked email accounts to impersonate executives or trusted partners, sending urgent requests to employees for wire transfers or sensitive information.

Ransomware via social engineering

Ransomware via social engineering is a cyberattack in which attackers deceive victims into opening dangerous attachments or clicking on links in convincing emails or texts.

When the malware is executed, it encrypts the victim’s data and demands a ransom for the decryption keys. Social engineering approaches use human trust and curiosity to overcome technical security measures.
