October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—a timely reminder that cybercriminals never take a break. For businesses, even a single successful scam can mean significant financial loss and reputational damage. Here are four of the most common—and costly—frauds we’re seeing right now, along with practical steps to help you stay protected.
Fraudsters often impersonate a trusted source—like your bank, a vendor, or even a coworker—and claim they need to “verify” an account or transaction. You’ll receive a one-time verification code and they will pressure you to share it over the phone, email, or text.
Protect Your Business:
Cybercriminals may send realistic-looking invoices for services never rendered, or they may intercept legitimate invoices and change payment instructions.
Protect Your Business:
Fraudsters may spoof an email from a supplier or employee, asking you to reroute ACH or wire payments to a fraudulent account.
Protect Your Business:
Scammers create fake employees or change legitimate payroll information to divert wages to their own accounts.
Protect Your Business:
Technology helps, but employee awareness is your strongest defense. Provide regular training, implement multi-factor authentication across systems, and maintain up-to-date security software.
This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, take time to review your internal controls and educate your team. A few proactive steps today can help protect your business—and your customers—tomorrow.
Your security is our priority. If you ever have questions or need guidance on safeguarding your accounts, please contact us right away.
