Vendor Email Compromise: The Silent $300M Threat CISOs Can’t Ignore

📧 Vendor Email Compromise Is a $300M Silent Threat

Vendor Email Compromise (VEC) is skyrocketing, with 72% of employees at large enterprises engaging with fraudulent vendor emails by replying or forwarding—even when no links or attachments are present.

This behavior has fueled attempted thefts over $300 million worldwide last year.

VEC attacks now see engagement rates 90% higher than traditional Business Email Compromise (BEC).

The EMEA region is a hotbed for these attacks, yet employees there report only 0.27% of incidents—the lowest global reporting rate.

Telecom leads in vulnerability, with 71.3% employee engagement, followed by energy and utilities at 56.25%.

VEC’s danger lies in hijacking trusted vendor email threads and leveraging social engineering that exploits human trust, bypassing technical defenses like multi-factor authentication.

To fight back, organizations must adopt AI-powered email analytics, enforce vendor verification protocols, and continuously train employees to detect social engineering tactics.

At AUMINT.io, we deliver comprehensive cybersecurity solutions blending advanced threat detection and human-focused training to shield your organization.

Don’t wait for an attack to expose your vulnerabilities.

Why CFOs Are the New Prime Targets in Cyberattacks

📧 CFOs Face Rising Spear-Phishing Threats

Spear-phishing attacks targeting CFOs and senior financial executives are escalating fast. Attackers use a deceptive recruiter email to trick victims into downloading tools like NetBird and OpenSSH, granting hackers remote access without raising alarms.

This method allows persistent, covert control of critical financial systems.

CFOs are high-value targets because of their ability to authorize large transactions and access sensitive data.

To defend against these threats, organizations need advanced detection systems that spot unusual activity early, plus focused executive training to recognize spear-phishing tactics.

At AUMINT.io, we provide tailored cybersecurity solutions combining cutting-edge threat detection and ongoing awareness programs to protect your top executives and critical assets.

Don’t wait for an attack to disrupt your business.

Why EMEA Enterprises Are Prime Targets for Vendor Email Compromise

📧 Why EMEA Enterprises Face Higher VEC Risks

Vendor Email Compromise (VEC) is skyrocketing in EMEA, with 72% of employees at large enterprises engaging with suspicious vendor emails — that’s nearly double the engagement rate of Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks.

Even more alarming? EMEA organizations report just 0.27% of VEC incidents, the lowest rate worldwide, leaving many attacks undetected and unresolved.

The telecom sector and junior sales staff are especially vulnerable, with engagement rates hitting 71% and 86% respectively.

This data reveals a troubling pattern: EMEA enterprises tend to trust vendor emails too easily, creating an entry point for costly cyber fraud.

Preventing VEC demands more than technology—it requires proactive employee training, awareness, and advanced AI-driven detection.

At AUMINT.io, we tailor cybersecurity defenses to EMEA’s unique challenges to stop VEC before it causes damage.

Paying Ransoms? You Might Be Paying Again – And Again

💸 Paying Ransoms? Expect Repeat Attacks Soon

Nearly 80% of organizations that pay ransom demands face a second attack – often from the same cybercriminals.

Some see follow-up attacks within just weeks, with ransom demands rising by over 20%.

Paying doesn’t guarantee data recovery or safety from exposure. Many victims report corrupted or stolen data despite paying.

This reveals a harsh truth: paying ransom is a temporary fix that invites future risks and costs.

Your organization needs a shift – from reacting after an attack to preventing it altogether.

At AUMINT.io, we help you build defenses that detect ransomware early and protect your critical data long-term.

Scattered Spider: The Silent Threat Exploiting IT Support Teams

🕸️ Scattered Spider’s Sneaky Attack on IT Support Teams

The most dangerous cyberattacks don’t always come from code – they come from exploiting human trust.

Scattered Spider, a cybercriminal group from the US and UK, has mastered this by targeting IT support teams with sophisticated voice phishing (vishing) and impersonation.

By pretending to be legitimate employees, they trick IT teams into resetting passwords or bypassing multi-factor authentication (MFA). This approach slips past even strong technical defenses.

What’s more alarming? They partner with ransomware-as-a-service groups like DragonForce to launch full-scale attacks after gaining entry.

This shows why strengthening human defenses is now as crucial as firewalls and antivirus software.

Want to learn how to protect your IT teams and your business from such stealthy threats?

At AUMINT.io, we specialize in tailored cybersecurity solutions that combine real-time threat intelligence with behavioral analytics to detect and block these human-centric attacks.

DocuSign Deception: How Fake Notifications Are Exploiting Your Trust

📩 Fake DocuSign Emails Are Hijacking Your Team’s Trust

🧠 Imagine receiving a contract signing request that looks 100% real – but isn’t. Welcome to the new wave of phishing scams where DocuSign is the bait.

💼 Cybercriminals are cloning notifications down to the pixel. Legit logos. Real sender names. Even spoofed URLs.

⚠️ The twist? These attacks often hit when teams are actually signing contracts, making it even harder to question them.

🔐 The cost? Stolen credentials, breached vendor data, and compromised financial files.

🛡️ It’s no longer about tech vulnerabilities. It’s about human instinct. And that’s exactly what AUMINT Trident is built to sharpen.

📉 One fake DocuSign email = one employee mistake = total breach.
