How it works
Fraudsters compromise casino vendor or executive email accounts to redirect legitimate wire transfers to criminal-controlled accounts, or trick staff into sending unauthorized payments. Attackers phish casino finance employees, spoof executive emails, or compromise vendor accounts. They send payment instructions with altered banking details just before scheduled transfers. The casino sends money to the fraudster’s account.
On the record
Business email compromise is one of the most financially damaging cybercrimes globally. Casinos have lost millions to BEC attacks on vendor payments, construction projects, and executive impersonation.
