How can I avoid becoming a victim of CEO fraud or business email compromise?

1. Be cautious of emails from external contacts requesting sensitive information or money transfers.
2. Double check websites addresses to verify it is legitimate.
3. Do not open email attachments from unfamiliar senders.
4. Be suspicious of any emails that contain urgent time constraints or unusual language.
5. Be aware of any requests for information that do not address you by name.
6. If something does not seem right with the request, contact the requestor directly for confirmation.
7. Have policies and procedures in place for authorizing transactions or transfers of funds.
8. Require multi-factor security for internal personnel who can make financial transactions.
9. Train personnel on how to identify and respond to suspicious emails.
