Phishing attacks directed at businesses appear to be on the rise.
An email comes in asking for a payment on a contract with wiring instructions included, except the instructions are phony.
Or an email arrives asking for a change in payment routing information on a real vendor, but the new routing information goes to a thief.
Defense:
Employees should always check with superiors before accepting such changes.
Any payment activity, especially large sums, should be subject to multiple checks and double checks.
