Business Email Compromise

Business Email Compromise — Fraud in which trusted business communications or accounts are impersonated or compromised to manipulate payments or sensitive actions.

Why Business Email Compromise matters in finance

It can turn normal payment processes into a channel for authorized-looking fraud.

Security is also a market-infrastructure question

A control can be technically effective while still leaving material resilience risk if critical services cannot continue or recover during disruption.
