Henderson ISD

BEC (business email compromise) has certainly gained traction in the past couple of years.

Henderson ISD, a school district in Texas, recently lost more than $600,000 in a BEC attack.

Only a few details on the attack have been issued by district officials.

The district sent a payment of $609,615.24 to RPR Construction Company Inc., the organisation overseeing the building of a stadium.

School officials discovered the payment did not go to RPR, but into fraudulent account and that the district was tricked into doing so through a BEC attack.
