What is Spoofing?
Spoofing is when cybercriminals disguise as trusted sources and operate in different ways to do so. For example, email spoofing can have attackers pose as trusted contacts, caller spoofing involving familiar phone numbers as its cover, and domain spoofing mimicking existing sites with slightly different domain names.
Identifying Spoofing Attacks
To detect spoofing, analysing the likes of grammar and spelling for errors, requests for sensitive information, if it includes unsolicited attachments, and checking if link points are HTTP over HTTPS (checking for link security) are recommendations to check for spoofing attempts.
Mitigating Spoofing Attacks
To protect against spoofing attacks, never clicking unsolicited links, spam filtering, two-factor authentication (2FA), and no sharing of highly personal details are important steps to take for preventing dangers from spoofing attempts.
