As corporate emails are vulnerable and prone to leaks, attackers come up with numerous ideas on how to get sensitive information from private correspondence.

In one of the most common email scams called Business Email Compromise (BEC), cyber attackers put themselves as clients, suppliers, managers or other business partners in order to try to get money or information. The numbers are alarming: up to 91% of all cyberattacks start with phishing emails and there are 6.4 billion fraudulent emails sent every day.
