Former US Air Force members sent to prison over BEC attacks
-
Two former members of the United States Air Force have been sentenced to a combined 189 months in federal prison for their roles in a multi-year series of business email compromise (BEC) scams and phishing campaigns.
The defendants were involved in schemes that targeted organizations over an extended period, using BEC and phishing techniques to facilitate their attacks. The court handed down the combined sentence as part of the federal case against them.
