The main purpose of the notification is to raise awareness among US businesses about how to prevent account compromises – consisting of the oft-repeated, basic cybersecurity advice – rather than how to spot a fraudulent EDR specifically. Submitting a fraudulent EDR doesn't guarantee a PII-packed response, it should be said. They are not successful in every case.
The FBI recommends adopting critical thinking whenever an EDR is sent their way, and the need to understand the common tactics used by criminals to hurry along the process.
