Spear-Phishing Scam Nearly Nets Big Tuna

Media mogul Condé Nast allegedly began sending payments for printing jobs to a bank account believed to be owned by Quad/Graphics of Sussex, WI, which prints magazines for Condé Nast. Wired.com, citing court documents, reported that the publisher's accounts payable department received an e-mail purported to come from Quad/Graphics, asking that it send payments to a specific bank account, and even included an electronic payments authorization form. According to the e-mail, the account was for "Quad Graph," a close match to the actual printer's name.
