Story of Multi-Party Impersonation schemes; one person poses on both sides of a transaction via tactics like AI clones to siphon large sums.

Armand here, RPost’s armadillo product evangelist. By now, you’ve probably heard about the Microsoft and CrowdStrike update issue that caused mainly large companies using cloud PCs to crash and display the infamous blue screen of death.

RMail’s PRE-Crime service identifies and isolates compromised or lookalike email accounts and pre-empts bogus wire transfers.

It’s your favorite brand ambassador here to report the latest in tech as well as how RPost is on the cutting edge of stopping cybercrimes from happening. I’m back home this week in West Texas all alone; just like some of the latest cybercriminals.

We’ve had a few days of insightful discussions at the world’s largest legal IT security event, ILTA LegalSEC. Since many of you are not able to (or not in the right frame of mind to) travel to beautiful Baltimore to experience this event live, I thought I would dedicate this week’s Tech Essentials to sharing the top three FBI-special-agent speaker insights (from my perspective).

You may wish you were one of the zombies from The Last of Us after a BEC attack. Previously on Tech Essentials, we introduced you to the cybercrime phenomenon initiated by Email Eavesdropping and ending in a mis-wire, in part 1 of a 3-part series we’re running.
