Wichtige Erkenntnisse

The U.S. federal government issued ~$1.2 trillion in grants to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments last year.

Cybercriminals stole over $4 million from a single city government solely through email after a grant announcement.

Public grant funding announcements create targeting opportunities that bad actors actively exploit.

Email is identified as the most vulnerable attack surface for grant funding recipients.

Last year, the federal government issued approximately $1.2 trillion in grant funding to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, and that number is expected to grow in 2023. For most organizations who receive a portion of this grant money, it’s an incredibly exciting and newsworthy event.

Unfortunately, when grant funding is made public, bad actors can take advantage. In one instance, cybercriminals stole more than $4 million in funding dollars from a single city government—all via email. Your email environment is your most vulnerable attack surface, and earning public funds makes you a target.
