Interpol and Nigerian police arrest 11 members of Nigerian cybercrime gang known as SilverTerrier. Group-IB and Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 said six of the 11 suspects are believed to be part of a prolific group. BEC attacks, which began to gain dominance in 2013, are sophisticated scams that target legitimate business email accounts through social engineering schemes to infiltrate corporate networks and leverage their access to initiate or redirect the transfer of business funds to attacker-controlled bank accounts. The latest arrests constitute the second edition of Operation Falcon, the first of which resulted in the apprehension of three alleged members of the gang in November 2020.”]
