What is a CEO Fraud?

CEO Fraud is a clever attack where impostors either act under CEO identities or earn the trust of high-profile users for financial gain. In a majority of cases, CEO fraud occurs with attackers phishing an executive and securing access to his/her email, or emailing company employees from a fraudulent domain name that’s very close to the company’s domain. (Most often a character or letter is off by one or two). Usually the criminal has used social engineering tactics to understand the business structure of an organization and coerced the exec or employee into a financial transfer.

Why does CEO fraud work?

CEO fraud is a sophisticated scam from both technological and social angles. A trusted contact doesn’t raise concerns that tell us to be cautious, as these kinds of messages “feel normal.” Attackers rely on this misplaced trust, constructing messages with genuine visual elements and personalized messages, making these exploits remarkably effective and dangerous.

Attackers may compromise a CEO account and reveal damaging information. This event not only tarnishes reputation, it innately comes with financial damage. In cases where a CEO falls victim to a fraudulent communication, either disclosing proprietary information, or transferring money to an attacker, the results will be catastrophic.
