Payment redirection is a cybercrime technique where attackers trick individuals or organizations into sending payments to fraudulent accounts. This is often achieved through phishing emails, fake invoices, or compromised business communications that appear legitimate. The attackers reroute funds by providing altered bank details or payment instructions, making victims believe they are paying a trusted party. Payment redirection can lead to significant financial losses and is commonly used in business email compromise (BEC) attacks. Preventing payment redirection requires vigilant verification of payment requests and secure communication practices.
