“…Dari keseluruhan bentuk kejahatan siber, muncul salah satu modus yang dikenal dengan business email compromise (BEC), yang dikenal juga dengan "CEO fraud" atau "man-in-the middle scam" (Saud Al-Musib et al, 2021). BEC menjadi bentuk kejahatan yang riil ketika penjahat di dunia maya dapat mengeksploitasi jaringan email untuk melakukan serangan siber terhadap suatu korporasi demi keuntungan finansial, dikarenakan email telah menjadi mode komunikasi yang umum di seluruh dunia.…”

“…Sumber: Al-Musib et al, 2021 Dalam konteks Indonesia, BEC tercatat sudah terjadi dalam dua tahun terakhir dan kecenderungannya semakin meningkat akibat pandemi. Pelaku kejahatan dalam bentuk BEC memanfaatkan suasana kecemasan dan ketidakpastian yang ditimbulkan oleh krisis yang terjadi akibat pandemi Covid-19.…”

“…Sumber: (Saud Al-Musib et al, 2021) Karena modus penipuan BEC tergolong baru muncul dan berkembang, berbagai penelitian terkait topik tersebut relatif baru mulai bermunculan sejak tahun 2016 hingga saat ini. Penelitian yang sudah dibuat hingga kini lebih banyak mengambil perspektif di bidang audit forensik maupun teknologi informasi.…”

“…Jhanjhi, dijelaskan mengenai analisis BEC, bagaimana BEC dapat terjadi, cara menghindari atau meminimalisir kejadiannya, dan dampaknya terhadap organisasi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini antara lain prediksi penyebaran dan perkembangan BEC di masa depan karena ketergantungan korporasi pada teknologi yang begitu tinggi (Saud Al-Musib et al, 2021).…”

Business Email Compromise (BEC) menjadi modus baru kejahatan siber dalam bentuk email phishing kepada target individu atau korporasi yang dituju guna meraih keuntungan finansial. Artikel ini membahas konsep BEC dalam lingkup komunikasi termediasi dan komunikasi persuasi dari pelaku kepada korban dan dikaitkan dengan teori Computer-Mediated Communication dan Model Kemungkinan Elaborasi. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi dokumentasi email yang terkait dengan BEC dan wawancara kepada sejumlah sumber primer yang terlibat dalam penanganan kasus BEC. Hasil analisis menunjukkan perkembangan komunikasi dalam BEC yang melalui fase komunikasi impersonal, interpersonal, dan hiperpersonal. Hasil analisis juga menunjukkan adanya upaya persuasi dari pelaku BEC dengan mengarahkan korban pada rute periferal dengan satu atau sedikit isyarat agar terjadi perubahan sikap dalam bentuk bersedia mentransfer sejumlah dana kepada rekening yang disediakan oleh pelaku. Bila rute periferal tidak cukup meyakinkan korban, pelaku BEC akan menggunakan rute sentral dengan membangun persuasi dari aspek motivasi, kemampuan, dan argumentasi yang kuat.

In recent two years, information systems have been adopted in most fields of life due to the health state around the world. At the same time, the risk factor of security attacks is increased sharply as well. These attacks consider different actions toward damaging the data of systems or even making down their work. In this paper, a study of cyber-threats (attacks) on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is presented. This study illustrates the effects of the cyber-threats on the WSN according to the network layers, as well as their privacy concerns. The outcome of this study is the classification of these attacks that can lead to produce cyber-security systems which can prevent them from damaging the involved information systems. Index Terms— Cyber-Security, Wireless Sensor Network, Internet of Things.

Purpose This study aims to delve into economic cybercrime within the African diaspora, with a specific focus on Ghanaian nationals residing in the USA. It aims to shed light on the nuanced and unique approaches that diasporic actors adopt to execute economic cybercrimes, especially online frauds. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on press releases and official indictments collected from the U.S. Department of Justice, the study adopted content analysis. Through this approach, the study outlines its findings Findings The analysis reveals patterns in economic cybercrimes among Ghanaians abroad. Notably, the findings suggest that diasporic individuals often work with local accomplices to perpetrate various economic cybercrimes, with money laundering being particularly prevalent among those living outside their home country. This underscores the profound influence of geographical location on the choice of cybercriminal activities. Moreover, the research reveals that diasporic actors use several tactics, including adopting false identities to interact with victims and the creation of sham companies for laundering money. Additionally, demographic characteristics such as age and gender seem to significantly influence the involvement of diasporic individuals in economic cybercrimes. Research limitations/implications The research was primarily based on press releases and official indictments within the USA. Although these sources offer substantial insight into the rise of cybercrime among Ghanaian diaspora members, their focus on specific data types and geographical regions might constrain our comprehension of the nuances of this phenomenon, particularly across various diasporic groups and regions. Hence, future research could enhance our understanding by conducting fieldwork, not just in the USA but also in other areas using primary data to delve deeper into the issue of cybercrime within the diaspora. Practical implications The study’s findings have implications for individuals, organizations and policymakers alike. By understanding the strategies of economic cybercrime offenders, as demonstrated in this research, individuals can be better equipped to navigate digital technologies for both personal and business purposes. Moreover, policymakers and government agencies can use these insights to develop policies aimed at mitigating the spread of economic cybercrimes, particularly within diasporic communities. Originality/value The paper stands out for its innovative approach and scope. While numerous studies have explored cybercrime activities, the prevalence among diasporic actors remains underexamined. Through its methodology and scope, this paper opens avenues for further research into the phenomenon of cybercrime within diasporic communities.
