Sublime's Attack Spotlight documents an active BEC campaign targeting CFOs and finance staff with highly personalized fake invoices (embedded and attached PDFs) and fabricated W-9s, leveraging VIP impersonation and fake forwarded threads to create urgency; detection signals include fake invoice/thread indicators, NLU-based BEC language detection, VIP impersonation markers, and recently registered sender domains, and the vendor reports detecting and preventing these attacks.
