Business Email Compromise (BEC) protection

Focus BEC review on the payment path

WireSnare narrows Business Email Compromise (BEC) review to suspicious payment instructions and impersonation in selected mailboxes.

Know what changed

A spoofed or compromised account can make a false transfer request appear to come from an executive, vendor, adviser, or colleague.

Flag

WireSnare reviews new mail in the selected mailbox and can flag a suspicious payment message.

Review

Open the dashboard flag and compare its reason with the message, sender, and normal process.

Verify and respond

Pause before acting. Confirm through a known contact method, then follow your response process.

What to review

  • Unexpected changes to bank or beneficiary details
  • Requests that rely on authority, secrecy, or unusual urgency
  • Payment language that does not fit the surrounding conversation

What to do next

  • Review the flag and the message in context.
  • Do not use contact details supplied only in the request.
  • Confirm the instruction with the known person or organization before acting.

A flag is a prompt for review, not proof of fraud. WireSnare does not guarantee prevention. Always verify payment instructions independently before sending funds.
