Hosts: Justin Shelley - Phoenix IT Advisors | Mario Zaki - Mazteck IT | Bryan Lachapelle - B4 Networks | What does it take to lose $50,000 in a single email? Not much. A spoofed address. A busy CFO. A wire transfer that clears before anyone realizes what happened. In Episode 80 of UnHacked, Justin Shelley, Mario Zaki, and Bryan Lachapelle dig deep into one of the most financially devastating threats facing businesses today: Business Email Compromise (BEC). This is Episode 6 of their ongoing 12-part series on Security Basics, and this one hits close to home for every business owner who relies on email to run their company - which is all of them. The guys break down exactly how BEC attacks work in two primary forms: lookalike domains designed to trick you letter by letter, and fully compromised email inboxes where a hacker is literally sitting inside your vendor's or employee's account, reading everything and waiting for the right moment to strike. Using AI, attackers can now download entire mailboxes, study communication patterns, and pick up mid-conversation with chilling accuracy. But the scariest part of this episode isn't the technology - it's the human element.
