Had an interesting meeting with a cybersec researcher yesterday and apparently: - cybercrime is now a 1.3 trillion dollar industry - the official word from interpol is that they don't give a gently caress about any amount less than 1 million dollars being stolen electronically and they have no known way of tracking individuals so as long as every individual amount stolen is less than that you're gucci - the biggest emerging threat to business is literally randomly invoicing people and something called ego-phishing, which is where you send out invites for speaking arrangements at conferences (with a one time administration fee of course). computers make you stupid, i guess. He went through a bunch of the most sophisticated attacks he'd seen and they were all variations of "make user click this button that owns all their poo poo"

at my last company we had a physical fax machine as late as tyool 2015 because the CFO was terrified of these newfangled fax services that do it all online (after all what if we miss an important fax!) so we had to keep it constantly stocked with paper and ink cartridges because 99.9% of the poo poo it printed was spam. i generally cleaned up whatever it printed because nobody else cared and some of that spam was fun insane screeds against The Gays or w/e by crazy people. anyway i remember nearly every scam letter that thing printed out was in the form of a fake invoice like that, and at the time i thought it was real weird because what the hell business would just pay a random bill for something they have no record of. like often it wasn't ambiguous maybe-you-had-this service poo poo, it was things like invoices for large purchases or loan payments or things like that.

on a couple of occasions I've been pretty steamed that I had to spend loads of my own time troubleshooting some for-profit company's lovely software and mailed them an invoice for my time, as a pointless but amusing statement. one of them just cut me a check without question

DELETE CASCADE posted:we've gotten those fake invoices sent to our head of finance with the body text and headers faked to look like it was coming from the ceo, they're pretty slick We get those as well. The most sophisticated actors will either buy a compromised email server or try to first compromise a legitimate-but-poorly-run business and then use it as jumping off point. We had a office supply invoice that looked identical to a real one, except it was for chairs that never existed. But this is apparently way too much work for most and it's equally as effective to send a wide lovely net The other interesting thing was how much he stressed that, based on the outcomes of their research, they had determined without a shadow of a doubt that there existed multiple large entities out of only a small number of countries that were hacking people for no reason other than to cause political destabilization and globally, nobody seems to care about this

Yes that's called fraud because your intent is just to get money out of them for nothing but IDK IANAL YMMV. Generally they'll realize the error and ask for the money back if it's enough to mess up the books for a month/quarter/year.

If you already deposited it maybe it would be best to just write them a check returning the money and include a note saying that the invoice was a mistake? If you didn't deposit it, probably better not to do so?
