Immediate Action Required: Critical Evidence May Disappear Within Days
Critical evidence inside Microsoft 365 can disappear in only a few days if it is not preserved immediately. Attackers rely on these short retention windows to erase their activity and prevent investigators from discovering how the breach occurred. Every hour that passes increases the likelihood that key audit trails, mailbox logs, and system events will be permanently lost.
Microsoft Office 365 or Google Gsuite?
Most business email compromise attacks are against Microsoft Office 365, but if you use Google G suite, the instructions below are similar.
If You Are Not Fully Confident, Request Expert Assistance Now!
Business Email Compromise incidents are extremely time sensitive. If the attacker accessed a mailbox, there is a real possibility they may still be inside your system, monitoring conversations, altering financial instructions, or preparing a second stage attack.
If you are not completely confident in identifying and preserving the required evidence, you should request professional assistance right away. Acting quickly can be the difference between containing the breach or suffering additional financial and reputational damage.
Request emergency triageWhy Time Is So Critical
Microsoft 365 does not retain all logs for long periods by default. Some categories of evidence may expire within days. Once that data is gone, even the most skilled investigator may be unable to reconstruct what happened, which can affect insurance claims, legal actions, bank fraud investigations, and internal accountability. Attackers count on this. The longer the delay, the easier it becomes for them to cover their tracks, escalate access, and impersonate key staff. Swift action protects your organization, your financial assets, and your ability to pursue justice.
Financial Fraud Escalation: Stolen Funds Are Often Converted to Cryptocurrency Quickly
Almost all Business Email Compromise schemes now involve rapid conversion of stolen funds into cryptocurrency to speed laundering and avoid recovery actions. Once the transfer process begins, the window for successful interruption is extremely narrow.
Our triage team bypasses the bureaucratic delays that come with waiting for overwhelmed law enforcement agencies to enter event, we work directly with fraud units at major banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and blockchain tracing partners. In some cases, we can move faster than traditional reporting channels and get in front of the transfer pathway before funds disappear into unregulated offshore exchanges or nested laundering networks.
If your organization has already sent a wire transfer, or suspects that funds may have been redirected, contact us immediately. Early intervention significantly increases the chance of freezing or recovering stolen assets before they vanish permanently.
