Business Email Compromise Simulator
Explore Business Email Compromise Simulator as a safe interactive Business Fraud security simulation. No real target is scanned, authenticated to or exploited.
Configure Synthetic Target
Results reflect only the choices above. They are not a vulnerability assessment of a real target.
Attack Lab SYNTHETIC
Business fraud frequently combines impersonation with weak approval processes. Payment changes, payroll requests, supplier updates and executive requests become much safer when organizations require independent verification.
What the Business Email Compromise models
The scenario is synthetic and does not send email, contact vendors, move funds or interact with a real company.
BEC defense is a process problem as much as an email problem: independently verify payment and bank-detail changes before money moves.
The interactive score changes only when you change the controls on this page. That makes it useful for comparing stronger and weaker configurations, but it does not establish the security state of a real target.
Security factors used in this simulation
Identity security
This control changes how much trust or capability is available in the modeled scenario.
Security awareness
This control changes how much trust or capability is available in the modeled scenario.
Payment/change verification
This control changes how much trust or capability is available in the modeled scenario.
Sensitive data access
This control changes how much trust or capability is available in the modeled scenario.
Warning signs defenders should recognize
- Bank-detail changes requested only by email
- Urgent payment requests outside normal workflow
- New payroll details without independent confirmation
- Executive requests that discourage verification
- Supplier identity details that suddenly change
How to reduce the modeled risk
- Require second-channel verification for payment-detail changes
- Use dual approval for high-value transactions
- Keep supplier master-data changes auditable
- Separate request, approval and payment responsibilities
- Create a clear escalation path for unusual executive requests
What this simulator does not do
It does not discover passwords, bypass authentication, capture traffic, execute code, scan hosts, test payloads against a live service or prove that a real target can be compromised. Any name, domain, SSID or handle entered above is display text for the local simulation only.
Frequently asked questions
Does this Business Email Compromise actually hack a real target?
No. It is a synthetic educational simulation. The page does not scan, authenticate to, exploit or modify a real account, device, network, website, API or cloud service.
What does the Business Email Compromise risk score mean?
It is a deterministic simulation score based only on the options you select. It is not proof that a real target is vulnerable and it is not a penetration-test result.
Why does Identity security matter in this scenario?
This control changes how much trust or capability is available in the modeled scenario.
Can I enter a real name or domain in the Business Email Compromise?
Use only a public label or a made-up example. The text personalizes the on-screen simulation, but you should never enter passwords, OTPs, cookies, recovery codes, API keys or private keys.
What should I do after running the Business Email Compromise?
Switch weak selections to stronger defensive controls and run it again. The purpose is to see how layered defenses close simulated attack paths.
