Email hacking campaign

A new campaign of hacking is aimed at chief finance officers from a hit list believed to contain 50,000 details. The gang is believed to be operating from Nigeria.

The hackers request money transfers by sending what appears to be an order from a senior executive of the company.

The emails contain no malware, making them invisible to most email security systems.

This information was provided in December 2018 by Agari, cyber security specialists. Their report can be downloaded from here. [18.12]
