A supervisor at a financial services company received an email request from a business associate. Despite recognizing the request was somewhat out of character, she clicked on a link in the email. Four days later, she discovered her computer was sending out a vast number of emails. Worse yet, the supervisor routinely works with sensitive personally identifying and financial information, and often communicates this information to other financial institutions.
In the meantime, the employee’s manager received a call from one of the company’s major clients saying they had received a strange email from this employee and it could be malicious. The manager immediately called her company’s data security hotline. After some initial investigation, the company’s external counsel was contacted to assist with a possible business email account compromise.
