Business Email Compromise (BEC): How to Protect Your Inboxes from Spoofing
Business Email Compromise (BEC) accounts for billions in global wire fraud annually. Attackers forge sender headers to impersonate CEOs, directors, or trusted vendors.
1. How Display Name & Domain Spoofing Works
Attackers register lookalike domains (e.g. meradomain-support.com) or exploit missing DMARC enforcement to send fake bank transfer requests to internal accounting teams.
2. Enforcing DMARC Reject Policy
Transition your DMARC record to p=reject. This instructs receiving mail servers worldwide to instantly drop any forged emails attempting to spoof your domain.
