Businesses can take a number of steps to prevent Business Email Compromise MEC): 


-- Remove any sensitive online disclosures such as work emails and phone numbers. Avoid mentioning
the future whereabouts of company executives on social media accounts and company web pages. Executives
should hide their updates and posts from public view by increasing privacy settings. 


-- Marketing / Finance departments should use unique Email ID rather than using generic email id like
finance@, sales@, etc. This will prevent such attacks as it will be difficult to guess. 


-- Implement policies and procedures to handle emails requesting wire transfers or the release of sensitive
personally identifiable information. 


-- Use two-factor authentication in which approval of wire transfers will require two employees to authorize a
transaction. which increases the chances of detecting the scam. 


-- Educate organization people about BEE attacks. particularly executives or staff who have the authority to
release funds or critical information.
