Protect Your Email From Latest Hacking Trend<\/p><\/div>\n

Many real estate professionals have become keenly aware of targeted wire fraud scams<\/a> that include email impersonation tactics. A\u00a0growing avenue cyber criminals are using\u00a0to get highly sensitive financial data is known as spear phishing, according to Asaf Cidon, vice president of content security for Barracuda Networks, a data protection company.<\/p>\n

Spear phishing is a highly targeted and researched personal attack that is difficult to detect. Hackers might not use a malicious link or attachment, but will instead use nonalarming messages\u2014sometimes impersonating another individual\u2014in order to trick users into thinking the sender is safe so they offer up confidential information. This could be in the form of wire transfer instructions or other financial data.<\/p>\n

With the FBI estimating that $5 billion has been lost from fraudulent wire transfers and other spear phishing attacks, the threat is becoming more sophisticated against the real estate industry. \u201cIt\u2019s extremely easy to fall for this type of attack, especially under the pressure of closing a purchase of a property,\u201d Cidon says.<\/p>\n

Here are three ways to fight these threats against your real estate company.<\/p>\n

Training and education.\u00a0<\/strong>Helping your agents understand the threat of spear phishing is a great first step to ensure security, Cidon says. \u201cThe best training tools allow IT to simulate real attacks, impersonating executives in the company to test the security awareness of employees,\u201d he says. Ensure that your staff and agents know that any financial transactions must\u00a0be verified with a phone call or in-person conversation, not just email. Plus, when the people in your office are aware and know how to identify signs of a possible attack, everyone is safer.<\/p>\n

Email security.<\/strong>\u00a0Hackers target real estate pros and their clients by \u201cspoofing\u201d someone\u2019s email address so the recipient thinks it\u2019s legitimate because it looks the same. Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance is an email authentication, policy, and reporting protocol, Cidon says, that can help protect a domain from fraudulent email. Talk to an IT professional about setup\u00a0so you can ensure no one else can send emails from your domain.<\/p>\n

AI Technology.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cNew\u00a0AI-based technologies\u00a0can\u00a0automatically learn your organization\u2019s unique communication,\u201d Cidon says. These artificial intelligence systems monitor your email and will alert you to signs of abnormal attributes in the metadata and content of incoming messages.<\/p>\n

Barracuda Networks\u00a0also suggests free tools\u00a0that can scan Office 365 accounts for advanced threats to determine your risk level. \u201cUnfortunately, spear phishing carries a very significant risk, so it is well worth taking necessary steps to make sure you\u2019re doing everything you can to keep your clients and organization safe,\u201d Cidon says.<\/p>\n
