In the dark, ugly world of malicious email, BEC - or business email compromise - is a dumpster fire in your inbox. This "Ronnie Rants" episode features Cofense BEC expert, Ronnie Tokazowski, detailing why BEC is to be feared. As he explains, BEC is an umbrella term for an array of digital criminal mischief that ranges from business email spoofing (that's where the message from your CEO is actually from a cyber thief maybe an ocean away), romance scams, check fraud, and more.

These crimes account for $36 billion or more a year in losses. That's a big part of the dumpster-fire experience. When you finish enjoying Ronnie's layman-friendly discussion, take a look at our BEC info and resources at cofense.com/business-email-compromise.
