First-Ever Russian BEC Gang, Cosmic Lynx, Uncovered. BEC group Cosmic Lynx, associated with more than 200 campaigns in 46 countries, targets senior-level executives with sophisticated and articulate emails. They employ a fake “merger-and-acquisition” scenario and impersonate real attorneys to hijack identities. The group moves stolen funds through international money mule accounts, avoiding the U.S.
