AI-Enhanced BEC Forensic Analysis

Forensic reconstruction of a Business Email Compromise incident where AI-generated messaging, voice, or impersonation played a part, with remediation recommendations.

The Problem

The invoice looked right. The money is gone.


A payment has gone to the wrong account, or a mailbox is showing signs of compromise, and the messaging involved reads more convincingly than the business email compromise attempts of a few years ago. Large language models have made fluent, context-aware phishing and impersonation emails routine, and a forensic response now has to account for that as a factor, not just look for the traditional tells.

What's Included

What you receive.


A forensic report reconstructing what happened: how access was obtained or what messaging was used, what controls were exploited or absent, whether the messaging or any associated audio shows indicators consistent with AI generation, and where the funds or data went where that can be traced. The report closes with specific, actionable remediation steps, not a generic security checklist.

Email header, forwarding-rule and mailbox audit

Timeline reconstruction of the compromise, from initial access to discovery

Linguistic analysis of suspicious messages for indicators consistent with AI-generated content

Financial-flow tracing where payments were misdirected, cross-referenced with our Fraud & Asset Intelligence capability where the matter extends into recovery

Chain-of-custody documentation for every artefact handled, to our published evidential standard

Methodology

How it's produced.


Digital forensics conducted to ACPO Principles for Digital Evidence, combined with AI-content analysis on any suspect messaging or audio. Findings on AI involvement are worded as consistent with, not proof of, AI generation.

Timeline

What to expect, and when.


Typical turnaround: 5 to 10 business days depending on the number of mailboxes, systems, and transactions in scope.
Frequently Asked

Questions we're asked most


Should we contact the bank before or after instructing this?

Contact your bank and report the fraud immediately; time matters for any prospect of recovering misdirected funds. This engagement runs in parallel, to establish how the compromise happened and close the gap.

Do you handle the fund recovery side as well?

Where recovery becomes relevant, this sits alongside our Fraud & Asset Intelligence capability, in particular Asset Recovery Intelligence and Cryptocurrency Tracing & Recovery Intelligence where funds were converted.

Will this tell us who did it?

Attribution is often possible to a degree, infrastructure, patterns, and prior-use indicators, but we report our confidence level explicitly rather than asserting an identity the evidence does not fully support.
