How do threat actors use SPF policies in BEC attacks?
by DuoCircle
Business email compromise, or BEC, is a sophisticated phishing attack conducted primarily through a combination of social engineering and deception to get access to sensitive data, files, systems, networks, etc. It’s attempted mainly by impersonating a company’s C-suite, instructing executives to share data, or authorizing fraudulent wire transfers. For example- an executive receiving an email from a scammer pretending to be their boss, urgently asking them to buy gift cards and sharing the codes. They think it’s real, but it’s actually a trick to steal money!

Is DKIM2 the next chapter in email authentication?
by DuoCircle
The current version of DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) that you might be using was introduced in 2011. A lot has happened in the cybersecurity world since then. Indeed, we have evolved a lot, but so have the hackers! They’ve become smarter, employing sophisticated tricks to impersonate emails, steal data, and scam companies.
With the rise of remote work, ensuring secure email communication has never been more critical. Cyber threats continue to evolve, making it essential for businesses and remote employees to adopt robust email security measures. Whether you are an organization managing a distributed workforce or an individual working remotely, understanding and implementing best practices for secure email communication can protect sensitive information and prevent cyberattacks.
BIMI enhances email security by allowing brands to display their logos alongside authenticated emails, which helps recipients easily identify legitimate communications and reduces the risk of phishing attacks. To implement BIMI effectively, brands must first establish DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) to prevent domain spoofing and ensure that their emails are properly authenticated.
Every business faces risk. A lawsuit, a contract dispute, or poor financial management can threaten its survival. Without proper protection, owners may lose assets or struggle to recover from legal and financial setbacks.
