Spotit SOC receives reports of suspected fraudulent invoices from customers every day. These attempts to conduct fraud are usually made by delivery of e-mail. SOC activities are accelerated by automated threat intelligence analysis, i.e. e-mail domains and senders, and any URL’s are checked for known malicious or suspicious activities.
An invoice was delivered by mail to the Spotit BV office in Merelbeke, Belgium. This invoice was immediately flagged as potentially fraudulent by the Spotit Finance Department as no such vendor is known to the company.
