Wire Fraud & BEC
Attackers monitor email threads and intercept wire instructions at closing. Homebuyers wire life savings to fraudulent accounts, with funds rarely recovered.
Email Account Compromise
Compromised agent and title company emails provide visibility into transactions. Attackers patiently wait for the right moment to inject fraudulent instructions.

Real estate transactions involve SSNs, financial statements, and sensitive personal information. Data breaches expose clients to identity theft for years.
