London Blue group’s Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams target Asia

  • London Blue scammers were spotted running BEC scams against employees in Asia who are working for companies in the US, Australia, or Europe.
  • London Blue scammers are spoofing the email address of the target company’s CEO in order to add more authenticity to their scam emails.

What is the issue – London Blue scammers were spotted running BEC scams against employees in Asia who are working for companies in the US, Australia, or Europe.

Worth noting – London Blue scammers are spoofing the email address of the target company’s CEO in order to add more authenticity to their scam emails.

The big picture

These scammers rely on a new target database of nearly 8,500 financial executives from almost 7,800 different companies across the world.

  • In February 2019, London Blue scammers launched BEC campaigns against Hong Kong and Singapore.
  • In March 2019, these scammers targeted victims in Malaysia.
  • The group’s primary target is the US (39%), followed by Hong Kong (11%), Australia (10%), Singapore (9%), Malaysia (7%), the UK (6%), Ireland (5%), and other European countries.

London Blue scammers target Agari CFO

In January 2019, London Blue scammers attempted to target Agari CFO, Raymond Lim for the second time. Agari team tracked London Blue scammers’ activities right from the time they collected information and sent a test email to Lim. However, Agari Advanced Threat Protection blocked the test email before it reached Lim’s inbox.

“Unsurprisingly, most of the companies we have observed London Blue target using spoofing techniques do not have a DMARC record established. The few targeted companies that do have DMARC records set up only have their policies set to p=none, which only sends failure reports to a specified email address and does nothing to prevent a spoofed email from reaching its intended target,” the Agari researchers wrote.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
