Email spoofing is a type of cyberattack where the sender's address of an email message is forged. This method is employed to deceive users into believing that the message originates from a known or trusted individual or organization. It is commonly used for spam, phishing, and scamming purposes. Due to the inability of email protocols to verify the origin of an email, it becomes simple for cybercriminals to alter the email header.
