Double-check demand payment emails from law firms: Convincing fakes surface

Blind third-party impersonation attacks are a subset of BEC – different from those involving internal employees – and accounted for more than half of all BEC attacks in the first half of 2022, according to Abnormal Security.

In one example from Crimson Kingsnake's campaign, a company received an email from a lawyer from Simon and Cromwell, a New York-based international law firm, with"unpaid invoice" in the subject line. The message stated that the lawyer was representing a client and"chasing an unpaid invoice issued to your company. I have been advised to contact you on this matter and hoping you can get this settled as soon as possible.

They added that part of the information they've collected tells them that at least some of the threat group's members could be located in the UK.

Matt Hancock accused of 'double standards' over rent and council taxAlthough he'll be deep in the Australian jungle for ImACeleb - and reportedly getting paid around £400,000 for the privilege - Matt Hancock will still be free to claim rent and council tax courtesy of British taxpayers.
