The chain distinguishes what appeared valid, what was physically true, which authority followed and what consequence the source documents.
Messages appeared to carry legitimate management or transaction authority and supplied wire instructions.
The destination account was not owned by the intended recipient; the company later identified unauthorized email access and forwarding rules.
Management initiated a wire transfer and later blocked a separate attempted supplier-payment fraud.
Approximately $464,000 was transferred; the filing describes investigation and control remediation.
Out-of-band, transaction-bound confirmation of person, intent and beneficiary account.
ECR separates a documented monetary floor from a modeled social and economic consequence envelope. It is not an accounting loss figure.
The range combines documented facts with calibrated consequence and response-cost assumptions; it is not an accounting loss figure.
Financial and incident facts are from the SEC-filed annual report. The Presence interpretation is 4SI analysis.
A message can look organizationally legitimate while the person authorizing the transfer is not present.
4SI does not claim to have independently verified the underlying event. Scores, boundary analysis and economic ranges interpret published evidence; they are not probabilities, compliance findings, valuations or loss forecasts.
