Detailed explanation-1: -Email spoofing is a threat that involves sending email messages with a fake sender address. Email protocols cannot, on their own, authenticate the source of an email. Therefore, it is relatively easy for a spammer or other malicious actors to change the metadata of an email.
Detailed explanation-2: -Email spoofing is the forgery of an email header sot that the message appears to have come from someone or somewhere other than the actual source. Spoofing is the tech equivalent of putting on a disguise to trick people into thinking you’re someone else.
Detailed explanation-3: -Spammers send messages all over the internet from loads of different addresses and they often “spoof” these addresses to hide who actually sent them and trick you into thinking they may be from a reliable source.
