Attention, fraud! Police warn of dangerous man in the Middle -Trick

Kreis Paderborn, Deutschland - alarm mood in Paderborn! Cybercriminals are on a new high flight and use the perfidious “Man in the Middle” fraud scam to rip off carefree companies! The Paderborn police warns: the magic trick of these fraudsters begins to spye access data to email accounts. The perpetrators lurk that an invoice flutters in the company's mailbox and then turn into a supposed sender at lightning speed!

The mesh is simple: Shortly after receipt of a real invoice, a fraudster sends a fake email with a similarly looking sender address. Safe account details? Wrongly thought! The readers get a deceptively real update: "Attention, new account for transfers!" The criminals not only copied the external presentation of the real invoice deputy, they also hang the manipulated invoice with the new IBAN! Companies in the Paderborn district have already lost high five -digit amounts before they even realize that they were ripped off!

Caution is required!

The police warn for vigilance! Often the dizziness is only noticed when the real accounting agent stubbornly sends a reminder. The money is gone, and the chance to get it back is hardly available. To protect themselves, companies should be listening every time if an invoice arrives with changed account details. The best protection? Be sure to call the sender and verify the new account information! Also inform your customers and partners so that they are on the hat-because together we are strong against online fraud!
