Microsoft sees some new wrinkles in invoice-scam emails
Microsoft researchers observed a BEC invoice scam sending 1M+ AI-assisted emails impersonating executives and ServiceNow to request ~$50,000 payments.
Microsoft researchers tracked a campaign of more than one million invoice-scam emails launched in early August, with about 88% of targets in the United States. Attackers impersonated top executives and ServiceNow, fabricating forwarded email threads and invoices to convince accounts payable teams to send payments of nearly $50,000. Microsoft found indicators such as extensive HTML comments and highly uniform template construction consistent with AI-assisted campaign development, though it could not independently establish how much content AI generated.
