These attacks refer to tricking or deceiving the users, by faking the identity of another user, over email, phone, website etc.
Website spoofing is the act of creating a website, as a hoax, with the intention of performing fraud. To make spoof sites seem legitimate, phishers use the names, logos, graphics and even code of the actual website. They can even fake the URL that appears in the address field at the top of your browser window and the Padlock icon that appears at the bottom right corner. Even Emails can be spoofed to make the victim believe that it has been sent by ‘Trusted’ sender and lead victim to share sensitive information.
