TMT BEC scammers arrested after compromising 50,000 companies

Three members of a prolific cybergang with a confirmed victim count of about 50,000 organizations have been arrested recently in Lagos, Nigeria. The suspects are likely part of a larger organized group involved in business email compromise (BEC) attacks since at least 2017. The FBI s Internet Crime Complaint Center received close to 24,000 complaints about this attacks last year, causing estimated losses of $1.7 billion. Group-IB has been tracking the gang since 2019 and assisted the Interpol-led investigation.
