Article Overview:
The article explores the increasing incidence of cybercrime, AI-enabled scams, executive impersonation, data breaches and the growing demand for cybersecurity-related advisory and investigation work. It highlights how organisations are facing evolving cyber threats, heightened regulatory scrutiny and the need for stronger fraud-prevention and risk-management frameworks.
Our Partner, Kunal Gupta, shared his perspective. Here’s what he had to say:
“Fraudsters were using publicly available information, including LinkedIn profiles and regulatory filings, to map corporate hierarchies and impersonate executives through spoofed WhatsApp profiles and emails.”
“In one case, funds were misappropriated using a spoofed executive identity created through a publicly available domain service. Such frauds do not always involve technically sophisticated methods. A failure to notice anomalies in an email address or question an unusual payment request can allow relatively simple frauds to succeed.”
