Fortra’s John Wilson on the prolific BEC group Scripted Sparrow

In December, Fortra Intelligence and Research Experts (FIRE) released a major report exposing Scripted Sparrow, one of the most active Business Email Compromise (BEC) collectives operating today.

The group sends an estimated 6 million highly targeted scam emails each month, impersonating executive coaching firms and leveraging spoofed reply chains, missing attachment lures, and evolving multilingual campaigns.

Fortra's John Wilson discusses FIRE’s investigation linking the collective to 119 domains, 245 webmail accounts, and 256 bank accounts, with members operating across three continents and continually refining their fraud techniques at scale.
