Phishing emails, fake invoices, and compromised accounts don't require breaking into servers or exploiting complex systems. All they need is one person to click a link, open an attachment, or reply to a message that looks legitimate.
For small businesses, this risk is amplified because:
- Employees often wear many hats and work quickly
- There is less formal security training
- Email accounts are tightly connected to file storage, accounting systems, and vendor relationships
Once an attacker gains access to a single mailbox, they can move laterally, impersonate users, and quietly gather information.
