Russian cybercriminals behind a newly discovered business email compromise (BEC) campaign put a sophisticated spin on email fraud and show that advanced attackers are testing new strategies. The group, dubbed Cosmic Lynx, has been linked to more than 200 BEC campaigns since July 2019 and targeted individuals in 46 countries. Its attacks are “extremely well-written,” unlike many fraudulent emails ridden with spelling and grammatical errors. Attackers use a “dual impersonation scheme” in its attacks, in which the pretext involves a target company preparing to close an acquisition.”]
