Email spoofing is a widespread cybercrime that involves sending emails from a forged sender address to deceive recipients into believing the message is from a trusted source. This tactic is frequently used by cybercriminals to carry out a range of malicious activities, including data theft, spreading malware, and financial fraud. Spoofing poses significant risks to individuals and organizations alike, with attackers exploiting weaknesses in email security protocols to impersonate legitimate entities. How Email Spoofing Works Email spoofing occurs because the core email protocols (such as SMTP) do not natively authenticate the sender’s identity. This flaw allows attackers to forge email headers, making it appear as though the email is coming from a trusted source, such as a colleague or a reputable organization. Once the email reaches the recipient’s inbox, it’s processed according to the sender’s details, including the "From" field, which can
