Varoitus: ovelaa huijausta liikkeellä! Yhdistyksiä lähestytään sähköpostilla, jossa on lähettäjänä oikean puheenjohtajan nimi ja sähköpostiosoitteena "puheenjohtaja2025@email.com", pyydetään maksamaan pikaisesti jokin lasku. #BEC #sähköpostihuijaus #ceofraud

Vacation season is prime time for CEO fraud. Fewer staff, more urgency, and spoofed emails that look real. Use DMARC/SPF/DKIM, enforce approval rules, and train your team. Social engineering doesn’t take time off.

if this gets allowed, there is no justice. What an absolute crock. All those CEOs should be in JAIL and Boeing is criminally liable, without question. When Enron lied, no one died. #boeing #jailtime #CEOfraud #criminals #airaccidents #737MAX

Federal prosecutors confirm they may drop Boeing criminal charge

The Department of Justice confirmed it is considering a new deal to allow Boeing to avoid a criminal conviction stemming from two deadly 737 MAX accidents.
