Spoofing in Media
Cybercriminals use spoofing to trick victims into revealing personal information by posing as a trusted brand or contact. Websites and emails are most commonly spoofed online. But attackers use other means as well, including caller ID spoofing, IP spoofing, and “Man-in-the-Middle” attacks
Spoofing is a cybersecurity attack in which the hacker disguises their username, email, address, phone number, ect to trick the user into thinking they are interacting with a trustworthy source. Hackers often impersonate a trusted person or band to convince the user to provide sensitive information. Spoofing is a type of fraud in which an attacker impersonates another entity, such as a person or device, in order to gain unauthorized access to a system or steal sensitive information. There are several types of spoofing, including IP spoofing, DNS spoofing, and email spoofing, each of which involves disguising the identity of the attacker to trick a victim into providing access or sensitive information.
