**External Email**
We had the same issues happen a few months ago. The attackers appear to have been harvesting emails that are publicly 
accessible for their first phishing email attempts.
From our observations, the phish seemed to work better when users were on their mobile device and not their 
workstation. We use Knowbe4 in training users, but most the training revolves around what a phish would look like on a 
desktop computer. When a user sees the email come in over mobile they don’t always know how to see if the true email 
address is legit or not and no hoovering over the URLs to see if the link goes to the proper place.

We’ve seen the same scam.  They phish credentials, set up email filters, and change direct deposit.  I’ve talked to 
another college who ran into the same thing.

Subject: [SECURITY] Danger from recent BEC attacks

All,
   I am sending this out as a notice of an issue related to some recent BEC campaigns focused on our institution.  The 
malicious actors seem to be after user credentials so that they can spoof the user to make changes to their direct 
deposit information and highjack payroll.  We have had a few user fall prey to these attacks and the malicious actors 
inserted email rules so the user would not see the traffic and they then corresponded with the business office to 
change direct deposit info.  All of this traffic appeared to be the user because it transpired on their institutional 
email address.
  This was caught when the user inquired about missed deposits.  Just giving everyone a heads up if this is happening 
on your campus.
