The fraudsters had been engaging in Business Email Compromise on a huge scale, meaning that they were sending fake messages from decision-makers to their subordinates in an attempt to induce them to transfer large amounts of money. Here in Germany, this type of scam is more commonly known as CEO fraud or \u201cChefbetrug\u201d.<\/p>   <p>The current spate of arrests is just a drop in the ocean, however, with email fraud having long since reached frightening proportions. The FBI recorded 166,000 reported cases of fraud between July 2016 and July 2019 in 177 countries, resulting in losses totaling US$ 26 billion. The amount of damage to companies has doubled in comparison to an earlier estimate from 2018 (and one can safely assume that the hidden number of unreported cases is considerably higher).<\/p>   <p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/blog\/fr\/user-education-tips-email-security\/\">training and sensitizing<\/a> employees who are most vulnerable to the risk is indispensible in combating BEC and CEO fraud, technical measures can also be of vital importance.
