The Challenge: A commercial real estate firm in Downtown LA received what appeared to be updated wire instructions from their title company for a $450,000 closing. The email looked legitimate — same branding, same contact names, same transaction details. But it was a Business Email Compromise attack.
The TVG Response: Our email security systems flagged the message as suspicious based on domain analysis. We alerted the firm before any funds were transferred, identified the compromised email account, and implemented anti-BEC controls across the organization.
