According to a survey conducted in December 2022, almost 49 percent of computer users in Japan neither knew the term nor the meaning of business e-mail compromise (BEC). Business e-mail compromise represents a form of cybercrime in which business-related e-mails impersonate trusted sources, which can lead to a leak of sensitive information and other damages.
