KELA Product Manager Raveed Laeb told&nbsp;<em>ZDNet<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Attackers can use them for internal communications as part of a &#8216;CEO scam&#8217; &#8211; where criminals manipulate employees into wiring them large sums of money; they can be used in order to access sensitive information as part of an extortion scheme; or, these credentials can also be exploited in order to gain access to other internal systems that require email-based 2FA, in order to move laterally in the organization and conduct a network intrusion,&#8221; Laeb added.<\/p>\n<p>But, most likely, the compromised emails will be bought and abused for CEO scams, also known as BEC scams. According to an FBI report this year, BEC scams were, by far, the most popular form of cybercrime in 2019, having accounted for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/fbi-bec-scams-accounted-for-half-of-the-cyber-crime-losses-in-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">half of the cybercrime losses reported last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way of preventing hackers from monetizing any type of stolen credentials is to use a two-step verification (2SV) or two-factor authentication (2FA) solution for your online accounts. Even if hackers manage to steal login details, they will be useless without the proper 2SV\/2FA additional verifier.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
