What can an outside reading tell you after a payment fraud?

An outside reading cannot see your mailboxes, so it cannot tell you whether someone signed in to one.

It can show three things that bear on how a fraud like this reaches a firm: whether your DMARC record tells mail servers to refuse mail forged in your name, which look-alike domains of yours are registered, and which addresses at your domain are listed in breach data from other services.
