Cyber criminals gain access to email accounts and search through email accounts looking for sensitive information such as outstanding, unpaid invoices or data relating to financial transactions and business between supplier, vendor and clients. When cyber criminals identify a sale or a due invoice, the fraudsters then send various fictitious emails from the hacked email account or an email address replicated to the original posing to be in charge of the sale or due invoice to be paid, the fraudster is then asking for transfers of funds into a nominated bank account, usually giving an excuse that there is a problem at the bank and an alternative account needs to be used.
Phishing Attacks
Phishing attacks targeting banking, finance, and e‑payment services in Hong Kong increasingly focus on tricking customers and finance staff into disclosing credentials or authorising fraudulent transactions via deceptive emails, SMS (smishing), fake banking portals, or spoofed e‑wallet notifications. Attackers often use social engineering and tailored, credible-looking messages to exploit Faster Payment System (FPS) transfers, online banking sessions, corporate treasury processes, and popular e‑wallets, leading to unauthorised fund transfers, account takeover, and significant financial and reputational losses. These schemes frequently cross jurisdictions and exploit gaps in user awareness and transactional verification, so rapid detection, multi‑factor authentication, strict transaction controls, and prompt reporting to banks and law enforcement are essential to limit damage and aid recovery.
