Business Email Compromise (BEC) is soaring and companies are been affected, BEC is an exploit in which the attacker gains access to a corporate email account and spoofs the owner’s identity to defraud the company or its employees, customers or partners of funds. Typically, attackers request funds to be transferred to an offshore location typically to Hong Kong.
Digitpol a global cyber crime investigation agency is providing assistance to affected firms by providing rapid response with investigation, legal and assistance with freezing funds wired to fraudsters accounts by liaison with local authorities to recover the stolen funds. Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a scam targeting companies who conduct regular wire transfers and have suppliers abroad, typically firms that have business with Asia or with offshore locations are at target. BEC attackers rely heavily on social engineering tactics to trick unsuspecting employees and executives. Hong Kong is a key target for transferring funds to Hong Kong and then onward to offshore jurisdictions or to mainland China.
Digitpol’s Business Email Compromise Investigation Team are certified computer forensic investigators and fraud examiners and can assist to all cases related to Email Scams and Fraud.
Email fraud, scams, phishing attacks happens in most cases when cyber criminals find ways to hack into the email servers or accounts of small and medium companies, often targeting companies or investors conducting business with Asia countries. 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. It is common that the nominated account is in the same name as the company name or with a very slight change such as an extra letter. It is common the bank account to be in the same city as the victim or client.
Offshore Bank Accounts – A Target
Internet fraud is rampant, and Hong Kong is a key target for the transfer of funds. Digitpol’s Hong Kong branch provides operational and forensic support to firms that have fallen victim to BEC fraud, email fraud, invoice fraud and the stolen funds have been wired to bank accounts in Hong Kong.

Over the last several years smart home devices have become incredibly popular as millions of people have installed smart doorbells and smart thermostats. But what people forget is that these devices can store personal information and if you’re moving out you need to take the proper steps to protect your privacy and data.
It’s also important that you disconnect your smart device account from any devices that will remain in the house, so you’re not unintentionally spying on the new owners which can get you into legal hot water.
I run the smart home website One Hour Smart Home and to help you protect your privacy I’ve created a list of things you need to do, before you move to secure your personal information and ensure a smooth transition of smart devices to the next owner.
#1 Make A List Of Your Smart Devices
The first step to protecting your privacy is making a list of your smart devices and then deciding which smart devices you will leave for the new owners and which smart devices you will take with you.
For the most part the new homeowners will expect smart locks, smart thermostats, smart doorbells and smart light switches to stay installed in the home. But you want to make the list inclusive of all smart devices home, including smart smoke detectors, smart appliances and any smart voice assistants. Then on the list detail which devices will stay, and which ones will move with you. It’s a great way to not only create a to do list before you leave but also communicate to the sellers your expectations on how you plan on leaving the home.
One area that I often see get overlooked in smart device lists is built in sound systems like speakers powered by a Sonos Amp. While the built-in speakers should remain installed it’s really up to you if you want to take the wireless receivers and amplifiers with you.
Since owning a few of these devices can run into the thousands of dollars it’s a good idea to either take these with you or negotiate with the buyers if they want to keep them installed. Often times smart sound systems cost a lot more than a new appliance like a refrigerator or oven.
If you do end up taking the devices with you I recommend labeling the existing wires with painters tape and a location of where they go so you don’t get any calls from the buyers about where the wires go.
The most important thing for protecting your data on your smart home devices is not forgetting that you have them so you can erase the information.
#2 Disclose What Devices Will Stay & Transfer Or Reset
After you’ve made your list of smart devices that will stay in the home it’s. It’s also a good idea to disclose this information to your real estate agent and new homeowners.
It should be noted that some devices like hardwired smart home cameras or doorbells require specialized tools to remove the devices or reset them.
If you still have the tools, it’s a good idea to leave these for the new owners or provide them to the real estate agent for transfer. I’ve been contacted by more than one frantic real estate agent that couldn’t figure out how to reset a smart doorbell and was worried the sellers were spying on the new owners which could be very unsettling.
For some smart devices it might be much easier to transfer the device to a new account than it is to reset the device. If you agree on transferring the device to a new account it’s best to create a new temporary gmail account and password to transfer all of the information to one username and password.
Once you’ve transferred the device to the new account I recommend logging in and making sure any of your personal settings or information is deleted on the device.
When you confirm your information is safe you can then provide the new owners with the login information so they can transfer the devices to their personal accounts.
#3 Uninstall Smart Devices You Plan on Taking With You
Some devices like wireless security cameras and video doorbells are easy to take with you. They just involve removing them from their mounts. If you plan on using the devices with a new wifi router or password it’s best to reset the devices to factory defaults before you power them down.
However If you are planning on using the same wifi network and router in your new home you can leave the settings on the device and when you plug in your router and smart devices at your new home they should automatically connect to the existing network when you reinstall them.
#4 Factory Reset Any Remaining Devices
Most smart home devices have an easy access setting that will factory reset the device and delete all personal information. For some devices you can easily access the reset menu on the device app while other devices you may need to press a physical reset button on the device. Some devices like the Nest Thermostat have an easy to use interface that allows you to reset the device by going to the built in menu with options for factory resetting the Nest Thermostat. If you’re unsure how to reset your device there are hundreds of videos on youtube that walk users through the reset process or you can look at the manufacturers website for information on resetting the smart home device.

This delicious restaurant, open since 2008, is as welcoming as they come. La Shish kabob was founded by Izzat Freitekh. Mr. Freitekh provided us with wonderful explanations and recommendations from the vast menu. There is history to his authentic middle eastern recipes. La Shish Kabob’s signature shawarma with rice is mouth watering. Don’t forget to add their special sauce.
Aside of the shawarma, they offer a wide variety of food. Cornish hen (baby chicken), lamb shanks, mixed grill (which includes three skewers: lamb, kefta (marinated ground beef) and chicken. The orders include a side of rice, grilled vegetables, salad, and pita bread. Trust me, it’s a lot of mouth watering food.
The most important ingredients served at La Shish Kabob are warmth and welcome. Upon entering, customers are greeted by a gong doorbell and boisterous welcome. If you come hungry, be forewarned: the place smells delicious, but it can be difficult discerning exactly which dish is tickling your olfactories. A glass case displays beef kabobs, lamb kabobs, and whole rotisserie chickens covered in our secret herb mix dripping juice before your eyes.
Everything is homemade. From the falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, to the delightfully garlicky red and green hot sauce. The food is spicy but not too hot, except a few items. For example, the ‘Adanna Kebob’ dish is lamb covered in a mix of flavorful ingredients that will indeed make you break a sweat. It is named after a city in Turkey, where the dish originates. My Adanna dish came patted by hand into patties and carefully formed onto long flat skewer. It was generous dish served with flatbread, rice, and salad. Kebabs of chopped meat, instead of ground, offer a much better texture. These were tender with a bit of heat from chile flakes.
For dessert, a fresh homemade baked Baklava. All in all, ‘La Shish Kabob’ is more like eating at someone’s home than in a neighborhood restaurant.
The founder, Izzat Freitekh, was born in Jerusalem. He has been in the restaurant business for over 35 years. He has a reputation that takes us all the way back to the good old streets of The old City of Jerusalem. He was the first to start fast food and food delivery chains. Mr. Freitekh also has a street named after him right between the famous American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem and the famous Orient House. That is where he started his first restaurant in his fathers movie theater (Al Nuzha) in 1983. The first built movie theater in Jerusalem.
South Hackensack, NJ – As we move into the final month of the first quarter 2020, the founders of Royal Entertainment say they are somewhat concerned about the effect the economy could have on the event industry in 2020. Looming economic pressure not just abroad, but here in the US as well has the company keeping an eye on economic news.
Royal Entertainment is expected to host the same number if not more events as they did in 2019, yet they are still concerned about the potential effect of a downturn in the economy. Their initial projections are primarily based on the business/corporate events part of their business. Dylan Dell, the company’s co-founder says “As it stands today, our corporate events business is on course to stay in line with 2019 numbers”. He also mentioned that most of their business/corporate clients have already booked their annual events for 2020 and feels this will offset any pressure that a turn in the economy might bring.
Royal Entertainment’s outlook for social/private events is a bit more modest. The company is expecting a slight revenue increase or possibly no change at all over 2019 numbers. Victor Markovski, the company’s President said one reason is because “we had an outstanding year in 2019 with weddings, sweet 16 parties and mitzvahs. He does expect to host more events in 2020 in terms of sheer numbers because of the company’s addition of Quiceaneras to their event planning offerings.
When asked about the company’s top four challenges for 2020, Mr. Markovski listed “reduced client budgets, shorter lead times, an uncertain economy and increased competition in the marketplace. Both founders stated that there is some concern about the economy in 2020 that could affect the event industry. Mr. Markovski also had this to say “Even if the economy dips, increased competition is still our number one concern”.
