Spoofing

Spoofing refers to the act of falsifying or manipulating data to make it appear as if it comes from a trusted source when it does not. This deceptive technique is often used in various cyber attacks, such as email spoofing, IP address spoofing, or caller ID spoofing, to trick users or systems into believing that the information is legitimate, leading to potential security breaches, phishing attempts, or other malicious activities.
