A newly-uncovered business email compromise (BEC) cybergang, dubbed Silent Starling, has found success using a tricky technique to swindle funds from more than 500 organizations worldwide. The group has been using a method that researchers with Agari who discovered them in late 2018 call vendor email compromise. The researchers told Threatpost they expect VEC to be the largest threat for organizations worldwide over the course of the next 12 to 18 months. Threatpost talked to Agari researchers Crane Hassold and Ronnie Tokazowski about the group’s techniques.
