What is spoofing?

1. Email Spoofing: The attacker forges the sender’s address to appear as if the email is from a legitimate source, such as a bank or a coworker, in order to steal personal information or spread malware.
2. Caller ID Spoofing: The attacker changes the information displayed on your phone to make it appear as though the call is from someone you know or a trusted organization, such as your bank, in order to trick you into providing personal or financial details.
3. Website Spoofing: Fraudulent websites are designed to look like legitimate ones to steal login credentials, payment information, or other sensitive data. These sites often appear identical to real websites, sometimes using similar URLs.

To protect yourself from spoofing, be cautious when receiving unexpected communication, whether via email, phone, or websites. Always verify the identity of the source before taking action or sharing any personal information.
