Talos EMEA monthly update: Business email compromise
Summary: The latest Talos EMEA Monthly Update features Hazel and Martin discussing business email compromise, which the episode says has become the most lucrative attack vector for threat actors, surpassing ransomware. The episode also looks back on 10 years of Talos through interviews with its leaders and revisits major cybersecurity incidents from that period.
What you should know: BEC is described here as outearning ransomware as an attack vector, which means the campaign most likely to reach your organization may arrive as a convincing email rather than encrypted files - and the episode frames it as a question of when, not if.
