Recently a business I’m working with had an email that was sent to some vendors of theirs using emails that were remarkably similar to their own emails. The attackers used letter substitution to mimic the business’s domain (e.g. exarnple@dornain.com — notice the use of “r” and “n” to imitate an “m”).
Luckily, the vendors contacted by these people were diligent enough to catch the mismatched email addresses. However, I’m concerned that similar attacks will hit other vendors of our that might not have the same protocols in place.
Aside from contacting every one of vendors, is there anything the business can do on their end to mitigate these attacks? Or are they reliant on vendors being diligent with double-checking their contacts?

How can I prevent my route to be redirected with redirecting ICMP packets from a man-in-the-middle?
I am specifically looking to avoid someone using ettercap with the -M icmp option. From man ettercap:
icmp (MAC/IP)
This attack implements ICMP redirection. It sends a
spoofed icmp redirect message to the hosts in the lan
pretending to be a better route for internet. All connec‐
tions to internet will be redirected to the attacker
which, in turn, will forward them to the real gateway.
The resulting attack is a HALF-DUPLEX mitm. Only the
client is redirected, since the gateway will not accept
redirect messages for a directly connected network. BE
SURE TO NOT USE FILTERS THAT MODIFY THE PAYLOAD LENGTH.
you can use a filter to modify packets, but the length
must be the same since the tcp sequences cannot be
updated in both ways.
You have to pass as argument the MAC and the IP address
of the real gateway for the lan.
Obviously you have to be able to sniff all the traffic.
If you are on a switch you have to use a different mitm
attack such as arp poisoning.

Would you use your tech prowess to cheat at the Pinewood Derby? When your kid brings home that minimalist kit and expects you to help engineer a car that can beat all the others in the gravity-powered race, the temptation is there. But luckily, there are some events that don’t include the kiddies and the need for parents to assume the proper moral posture. When the whole point of the Pinewood Derby is to cheat, then you pull out all the stops, and you might try building an electrodynamic suspension hoverboard car.
Fortunately for [ch00ftech], the team-building Derby sponsored by …read more
