Cybercriminals are increasingly shifting their focus from exploiting software vulnerabilities to targeting human psychology. Among the most successful examples of this trend is the Boss Scam, a sophisticated social engineering attack in which threat actors impersonate senior executives to manipulate employees into transferring funds, disclosing sensitive information, or bypassing established security controls. Also known as Business Email Compromise (BEC) or executive impersonation fraud, the Boss Scam has become one of the most financially damaging cyber threats facing organizations worldwide. Unlike ransomware or malware attacks that rely on technical exploitation, Boss Scams are built on deception and trust. Attackers spend considerable time conducting open-source intelligence (OSINT) to understand an organization’s hierarchy, executive leadership, financial processes, and employee responsibilities. Publicly available information from corporate websites, LinkedIn profiles, press releases, and social media accounts enables threat actors to craft highly convincing impersonation campaigns. The attack often begins with a fraudulent email that appears to originate from a CEO, CFO, or another senior executive. In some cases, attackers compromise legitimate corporate email accounts, while others register lookalike domains that differ from the official company domain by only a single character. The objective is simple: convince an employee to execute an urgent financial transaction or disclose confidential business information without following normal verification procedures. Recent years have witnessed the evolution of Boss Scams beyond traditional email-based attacks. Cybercriminals now leverage collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, and Signal to impersonate executives. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has further enhanced these attacks, enabling criminals to generate grammatically flawless emails, clone executive voices, and even create deepfake video messages capable of deceiving employees during virtual meetings. These emerging capabilities have significantly increased the credibility and success rate of executive impersonation attacks. One of the defining characteristics of a Boss Scam is psychological manipulation. Fraudulent
