email spoofing
Email spoofing may occur in different forms, but all have a similar result: a user receives email that appears to have originated from one source when it actually was sent from another source. Email spoofing is often an attempt to trick the user into making a damaging statement or releasing sensitive information (such as passwords). (Carnegie Mellon University)

Many well-known companies are daily victims of email spoofing, either accidently with a virus, or deliberately. (DAWN Ontario)
A lot of modern worms use email spoofing when they send themselves from an infected computer. This spoofing tactic has led to a great deal of finger pointing and confusion among Internet users. (Brett M.Christensen)

E-mail spoofing
Genkend spoofing Spoofing er forfalskning af "fra"-adressen på en e-mail ved at vise en falsk afsender. Du kan finde den virkelige afsender af en e-mail i Gmail ved at klikke på rullemenuen ved siden af tidsstemplet "Svar" og vælge "Vis oprindelig". Adressen "Svar til" og adressen "Fra" skal være ens. Meddelelses-id'et skal også svare til "Fra"-adressens domæne. Hvis du ikke bruger Gmail, skal du henvende dig til din e-mail-host for at få oplysninger om, hvordan du verificerer afsenderen. Sørg for, at du ved, hvor en meddelelse kommer fra, før du kommunikerer med afsenderen, downloader vedhæftede filer eller klikker på links. Hvis du modtager en meddelelse, der spoofer Google, skal du videresende en kopi af meddelelsen til spoof@google.com (google.com)
