The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has charged three men with money laundering and aggravated identity theft after allegedly conducting a business email compromise (BEC) scheme.

BEC scams use various tactics (including social engineering, malware, hacking, and phishing) to compromise or impersonate business email accounts with the end goal of redirecting pending or future payments to bank accounts under a threat actor's control.

The charged individuals are Onyewuchi Ibeh, 21, of Bowie, Maryland, Jason Joyner, 42, of Washington, D.C., and Mouaaz Elkhebri, 30, of Alexandria, Virginia.
Yesterday's indictment alleges that the three men infiltrated the corporate networks of small and large companies in the United States and across the globe, between January 2018 and March 2020.
