News for today:
- [Abnormal AI] From technical exploits to human ones. New research from Abnormal AI shows that attackers are pivoting away from exploiting technical vulnerabilities to targeting behavioral and organizational vulnerabilities. While attackers are continuing to exploit internal relationships and trust between colleagues, vendor email compromise (VEC) now accounts for the majority of business email compromise (BEC) attacks, making up 61% of all BEC. As attackers shift toward impersonating trusted vendors, they are increasingly using high-stakes financial workflows to maximize impact. Among these, billing account update requests stand out as the most dangerous vector, carrying a 26.5% compromise rate, which is dramatically higher than routine invoice inquiries at less than 1%.
