Behind the glossy property listings and million-dollar transactions, real estate operations are quietly becoming prime targets for cybercriminals. The reason isn’t a sophisticated tech flaw – it’s the everyday lack of IT standards and weak digital infrastructure that leave the doors wide open.
Real estate is high-value and high-urgency. That’s exactly what fraudsters love.
Most property firms and brokers work with fragmented systems – from outdated email servers to unsecured document sharing platforms and CRM tools that were never meant to handle sensitive data.
Add to that a revolving door of third-party vendors, title companies, lawyers, mortgage agents – and you have an ecosystem ripe for impersonation and manipulation.
One well-timed spoofed email about wire transfers or closing documents can trigger irreversible financial loss. Worse, these attacks often slip under the radar because no one in the chain is technically accountable for cybersecurity.
The result? Attackers exploit trust, urgency, and outdated tech – and the victims don’t even realize what happened until funds are gone or reputations are ruined.
AUMINT Trident offers real estate firms a proactive solution: recurring human-layer phishing simulations, targeted employee training, and real-time dashboards that detect behavioral vulnerabilities before they’re exploited.
