Recall a BEC Invoice Payment and Clean the Mailbox
Two parallel jobs: chase the money and clean the mailbox the attacker is reading.
What to do
- Call your bank within the hour and request a recall on the wire — get the recall reference
- Notify the supplier: they may also need to clean their own mailbox if the breach was their side
- Remove any unknown forwarding rule, filter or sign-in session on your mailbox
- Reset your email password and revoke OAuth tokens / app passwords
- Report to the police and your insurer — BEC is usually a covered cyber-insurance event
