Fraud that can occur when performing real estate deals via email
Hey guys, just wanted to bring this to people's attention here. Basically, hackers can compromise your e-mail and monitor emails being sent/received. If they see e-mails about financial transactions, they can fake being one of the parties involved by making their domain name so similar that it can be glanced over and potentially steal funds involved. Here is a more detailed article talking about this: https://easydns.com/blog/2019/11/20/how-cybercriminals-profit-by-tapping-your-email/
By the way, I don't think off-topic is the right forum but I couldn't find one that fit. If anyone knows where this type of post fits please let me know. Thanks.
