In new phishing scam, attackers pretend to be your boss: Report

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new business email compromise (BEC) phishing scam where malicious actors send emails to corporate employees pretending to be their boss to get them to send funds. As reported by ZDNET, this advanced BEC campaign forwards email threads to victims, tricking them into thinking that it is an ongoing thread from their boss. They then ask the victim to make a payment or deal with an invoice. This money would be sent to an account run by the attacker. These attacks are often personalised and use email spoofing to make it appear legitimate.
