They Didn’t Hack the Computer They Stole the Email Account

Most businesses think the computer is the main thing attackers want.

Often, it’s the email account instead.

Why Email Is So Valuable

Email controls almost everything:
password resets
client communication
invoices
contracts
internal conversations

If someone controls email, they can impersonate anyone in the company.

How Accounts Get Stolen

Usually through:
fake login pages
reused passwords
weak security settings
accidental approval of login requests

No malware needed.

What Happens Next

Attackers may:
create hidden forwarding rules
send fake requests to employees
reset access to other systems

Because they’re using real accounts, their messages look legitimate.

The Big Misunderstanding

Businesses often think: “Our computers are fine, so we’re safe.”

But account security is now just as important as device security.

Protecting email protects the entire business identity.
