Solution

The three approaches that could be used by hackers as part of a Business Email Compromise attack are:

  1. Account compromise: This is when a hacker gains access to a business email account and uses it to send fraudulent emails to customers or employees. This can be done through phishing attacks, malware, or brute force attacks.

  2. CEO Fraud: This is when a hacker impersonates a CEO or other high-ranking official in a company and sends an email to an employee, usually in the finance department, requesting a payment or wire transfer.

  3. Attorney impersonation: This is when a hacker impersonates a lawyer or other legal professional and sends an email to a company, usually threatening legal action unless a payment is made.

The type of actor that was not mentioned in the video "A brief overview of types of actors and their motives" is Black Hats. The video mentioned Hacktivists, Governments, Hackers, and Internal actors.

A political motivation is often attributed to the type of actor known as a Hacktivist. These are individuals or groups who use hacking as a form of protest or to promote a political agenda.
