Stop Payment Fraud Before the Next Invoice
A convincing bank-change email should never be enough to move money.
Business email compromise works because the message looks routine: a familiar name, a real invoice, and a request that feels urgent.
Why this deserves attention
The loss often happens through a legitimate payment process, which makes recovery slow and uncertain.
Security failures rarely come from one dramatic missing product. They grow from ordinary controls that are incomplete, inconsistently applied, or never tested under real conditions.
Three checks to make this week
Verify payment-detail changes using a known phone number
Require a second approver above a defined dollar amount
Give employees a one-click way to report suspicious messages
Questions leadership should be able to answer
Who owns this control and who acts when it fails?
Which users, devices, locations, or older systems are exceptions?
When was the control last tested rather than simply reported as enabled?
What evidence would we provide to an insurer, auditor, or customer?
The practical takeaway
A two-minute verification call can stop a six-figure mistake.
