The FBI has released a new warning about a dramatic increase in CEO email scams in which attackers pretending to be an organization’s president or CEO ask for an urgent transfer of funds or invoice payment. Carefully examine and verify by phone (or in person) any unexpected request you receive asking for a transfer of funds or payment on behalf of another employee.
