Phishing is a primary method for cyber criminals to gain access to email accounts and systems using deception rather than defeating security protections. In most cases, the objective is to capture user credentials without the victim knowing. Cyber criminals have found it is generally easier to deceive a victim into clicking rather than breaking through technology defenses.

If you’re looking for some great blogs to follow – and not just writers obsessed with the Affordable Care Act – this month’s edition is a great example of the variety of topics that show up under the Health Wonk Review umbrella. This edition includes posts about the costs of prescription drugs, about the workers comp landscape, and health care dysfunction being driven by corruption. And sure, there are great posts about health reform – including an open enrollment wrap-up, an update on the medical loss ratio’s impact, and a post explaining how the ACA is driving up insurance prices. (Thanks, Joe, for including our post from Louise Norris.) It’s a quick read, but loaded – as always – with analysis from respected authorities on health policy. Check it out!

Social Engineering Fraud (SEF) is a cyber attack involving communication, typically via email, intended to deceive a victim into sending money to the criminal. It is also called BEC (business email compromise), wire transfer fraud and email piracy. Many Cyber Risk Insurance policies do not cover SEF, but a few comprehensive policies include coverage.
