BEC is back, should we blame the employee?

I recently read this article entitled Don’t Blame Employees who fall for a BEC scam! and it is an article by Trend Micro. They have some great points, one of which is education. How are your average non-technical people to understand what to look for if they don’t know? While common sense is at play, we can’t fault them when they are in a hurry and think that it looks legit. We must train on the signs on what looks real and what looks fake. The fakes always have some sort of mistakes in its message, and it definitely doesn’t have the words of the domain, in the address, or within its URL’s if it does have links to log in somewhere.

Have you had any signs of this before? What did you do?
