    Security may be everyone's responsibility but unless companies treat their employees well, and give them incentive to protect and defend their interests, it is unlikely those employees will take security seriously.

    I really appreciate your channel and vids. This particular scam (in hindsight) probably did far more harm to the individual group themselves than they did to FB or the other Giants. Anytime theres a paper trail that can be followed, you'll be caught. A person can create a hundred different levels of security for their scam, but when you have a federal agency/team dedicated to finding you, they will and they will always win....

    The way out would have been to email back and change the details to the real account so only some payments would be missing. The likelyhood of the missing account details being retained would have lessened and thus the chances of being back traced and thus could have been carried out every few months as "a security measure" by the recipient.

    Even if his email address was not listed as the owner they would have tracked him down. It might take a while longer but once he sent that first invoice he doomed himself. Now the real Quanta calls them all up saying hey I didn't get paid, what is going on? He must not have realized they would be calling for their delinquent payments and that would get him caught. It is that or he knew and forgot. Either way the thief got his just deserts!! In reality he should have gotten tons more prison time, he stole so many millions and they never recovered all of it! If I was Facebook I would be really ticked off even over just one million!!

    There was ongoing idiocy here, but it wasn't just that.

    Not really. Tech companies, such as these at peak points in their life cycle, are so enormous they're drowning in revenue and as soon as that payable hits the accounting dept. the payment in response is fired off. So any hard-balling from the scammer would've raised eyebrows and that's the last thing he wants happening. His set-it-and-forget-it strategy was as good as that play could have went. I'm surprised it took 2.5yrs for any red flags to pop up. Ya, but using his personal email to register a domain is... birdbrained. Wuh wuh wuuuuh 8[

    A lot of employees will have purchasing power for buying products and items and servers and whatnot, but not a normal employee would have access to sign a lease on an office building or renovations or a company car, that is a whole different department that deals with stuff like that usually called corporate real estate or something along those lines. And it's like me for my company I work for a Fortune 500 financial firm and I have a company credit card and really sodas most of the employees there at least I know on the tech side on the business side I don't know what their policies are and stuff. But whenever we order things we do it through our internal PO systems and budget invoicing is tracked with a magnifying glass looking at every single item so sneaking through faking voices and stuff like this it likely would not work where I work at, because there is so many people involved with every part of uninvoice, PO, PR, vendor engagement

    And anyone with a power to ride a large check for the purchase of a company is actually done through legal with contracts, a metric crap ton of contracts, and an escrow, and usually the board of directors any associated departments involved in the activities of this new company such as technology, business, vendor management, legal, HR, etc, the list goes on forever. I know this because I've been involved in many M&A at my company and there is a lot to do on legal day one. Legal day one is the first day of our ownership of the company and that's where we step in take over start turning things off and telling people what to do and company and all assets and everything involved ours
