## Summary

These emails are written for your office, your vendors, and your bookkeeper. Catching them is not a staff hobby. It is an IT job.

## What Bellwether says it owns

- We treat this as a systems problem. Email authentication, lookalike watching, and a hard rule that payment changes never happen from email alone. We help put that rule in with you. We do not leave it as a poster in the break room.

## Claims in the article

- Payment and bank-change verification that your IT company helped design and will back you on
- SPF, DKIM, and DMARC actually enforced, not sitting in monitor mode
- Someone watching for domains that look like yours
- Training on this scenario, not a generic phishing cartoon
