Situation — Attack, leak or dispute

Our email was hacked: our clients received our real invoices, with different bank details, and some of them paid the fraudster.

Context

A client calls you: they paid your invoice, but you received nothing. They show you the email. It really is your address, your invoice, your signature. Only the bank details have changed.

Someone has been reading your email for weeks, maybe longer.

The problem

  • Your clients have paid, but you have not been paid. The money is missing from your cash flow.
  • The hackers may still be in your mailbox, ready to divert the next invoices.
  • Your clients want answers, and their trust is at stake right now.

Case study

Real-life casespring 2026

Supplier to a school, Somme

In spring 2026, in the Somme, hackers took over the mailbox of a school's supplier. They got in through a weak password or phishing, that is, a fake message that tricks people into giving away their password.

They read the correspondence and stole genuine invoices awaiting payment. They changed the bank details on the original documents, then requested payment from the supplier's genuine address.

The school paid into the fraudsters' account. In an alert dated 19 May 2026, the Somme gendarmerie put the loss at over 15,000 euros.
