Don't Let Email Scams Steal Your Business's Hard-Earned Money

Email is the lifeblood of modern business communication. But it's also become a prime attack vector for cybercriminals looking to scam companies out of millions.

According to the FBI, business email compromise (BEC) scams have cost companies over $26 billion since 2016. And a shocking 80% of businesses still don't have proper email security protocols in place.

Without the right protections, your company's emails could be used to perpetrate:

  • Domain spoofing - Where criminals impersonate your brand's domain name to trick recipients

  • Display name spoofing - Forged display names that appear to be from trusted senders

  • Phishing attacks - Malicious emails designed to steal data or money

Email Fraud: The $26 Billion Scam

Forging an email is surprisingly easy these days. With just a few clicks, a scammer can:

  • Copy your company's visual branding

  • Mimic the writing style of your executives

  • Register lookalike domains that appear legitimate

Armed with convincing fake emails, criminals have been incredibly successful at social engineering attacks:

  • The University of Mpumalanga lost $6.5 million after fraudsters spoofed their asset manager's domain name and banking details.

  • Mattel's finance executive wired $3 million to criminals posing as the CEO.

  • Even major NGOs like UNICEF have been targeted by display name and domain spoofing.

Fight Back with DMARC Authentication

Luckily, a technology called DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) can verify legitimate emails and stop spoofing attacks.

DMARC works by:

  • Authenticating emails via SPF and DKIM protocols

  • Setting a policy to reject unauthenticated emails

  • Generating reports on email authentication failures

With DMARC properly implemented by a provider like Aeolus:

✅ Your real emails will reach inboxes without issues

✅ Scam emails will be automatically rejected

✅ You'll get detailed visibility into spoofing attempts
