Book The day has been frequent in Asia recently The theme of overseas remittance fraud is.
I think that each company has already taken all possible measures,
No matter how much you pay attention to this point with your own caution, it will not be more than enough.
again Heads up I would like to do it.
 

Various tricks of fraudulent groups

Incidents occurring:
〇For remittance instructions in emails sent from business partners and invoices attached to emails
Therefore, as a result of overseas remittance, the remitted funds were stolen.
 

〇 As a result of the invoice from the business partner being tampered with and remittance to an account different from the customer's instruction account (without noticing it)
The money sent was stolen. In this case, please note that the entire email may have been hijacked.
 
〇 From fraudulent groups impersonating senior executives such as the president and CEO of the parent company and business partners
An email is sent to the accountant, and the money is sent according to the instructions in the email.
As a result of the remittance, the remitted funds were stolen.

 
* Spoofing means that the email of the contact person has been hacked.

There are various methods of fraudulent emails such as
With that skill, you are aiming for your personal and your company's assets.
 
Just the other day, we received a fraudulent email.
The person in charge noticed the suspicious point in advance and it was not important, but
It is necessary to call attention to employees on a regular basis I renewed my recognition.
 

Check the facts by a method different from email!

If you feel even a little suspicious, take the following actions.

Countermeasure:
● Fact confirmation by means different from e-mail (telephone/fax) before remittance
-It is possible that the email you are using has already been hijacked.
 
● PC security measures

-Implementation of security measures and enhancement of the PC of the person in charge used for spoofing.
- When sending and receiving remittance request emails with foreign corporations, send a file with a password.
 
● Always try to communicate closely.

・ In-house, prepare a mechanism for the check function to work in double and triple.
 
None of the cases introduced this time are new techniques,
From the management's point of view, there may be some parts that are not usually taken care of.

Again, not only in-house accounting staff, but also in all related departments such as sales and purchasing
It is important to call for thorough awareness and to carry out daily work.
 
It may be a preaching to Buddha,
It's just more than enough, be careful.

We hope that you will find it useful.
Let's have a wonderful day today ♪
