Peringatan keamanan siber: Scammers ini mencari jalan ke akun email Anda

April 3, 2020 by Winnie the Pooh

Serangan Business email compromise (BEC) meningkat lebih dari dua kali lipat pada tahun lalu ketika para penjahat siber mencoba menggunakan penipuan email mereka terhadap bisnis besar.

Bentuk kejahatan siber ini sering kali didasarkan pada scammer yang berpura-pura menjadi seseorang yang dikenal oleh korban – kolega, kontraktor, atau mungkin bahkan bos mereka – dan meminta sejumlah besar uang untuk ditransfer, sering kali berkedok kesepakatan bisnis atau pembayaran.

Menurut FBI, serangan BEC telah menelan biaya bagi organisasi sebesar $26 miliar dalam tiga tahun terakhir.

 

Sebuah laporan baru dari Palo Alto Networks memeriksa operasi BEC yang bekerja di Nigeria selama tahun 2019. Dijuluki SilverTerrier, laporan itu merinci bagaimana para scammer ini berada di belakang jutaan serangan dan “dominan” ketika sampai pada bentuk kejahatan ini.

Selama 2019, SilverTerrier melakukan rata-rata 92.739 serangan sebulan, mewakili peningkatan 172% dibandingkan dengan 2018.

“Serangan BEC terus meningkat karena mereka mudah dieksekusi, biaya sedikit dari sudut pandang penyerang, menguntungkan, dan sangat sulit bagi penegak hukum untuk menuntut lintas batas internasional,” kata Pete Renals, peneliti utama Unit 42 di Palo Alto Networks.

Laporan itu juga memperingatkan bahwa operasi penjahat siber yang semakin matang semakin berhasil dalam menggunakan email untuk membantu mencuri sejumlah besar uang dari target.

Meskipun ada beberapa contoh dakwaan dan penangkapan terhadap scammer email Nigeria, tidak mungkin kampanye akan berhenti dalam waktu dekat, malahan para penyerang akan menjadi lebih ambisius dari sebelumnya.
