Business Email Compromise scams are a type of crime where criminals hack into email accounts, pretend to be someone they're not and fool victims into sending money to places they aren't supposed to. In the case of Williams, the San Francisco nonprofit director, thieves hacked the email account of the nonprofit's bookkeeper then inserted themselves into a long email thread, sent messages asking to change the wire payment instructions for a grant recipient, and made off with $650,000.
