Malicious use of spoofing @ your email

Email spoofing is falsification in the header section of an email, so the email sent as if it were sent from a valid email. E-mail spoofing is generally used for spamming, phishing or fraud activities. Examples of spoof emails are usually sent by disguising the actual email address with the email address of a particular agency.

Usually a spoof email will ask for something confidential, for example a username and password. In addition to spoofing emails can also contain links that are used for phishing. Here is one example of eamil spoofing.
