Task : Email Spoofing
Email Spoofing:
Email Spoofing is a sport of like a virtual Identity Theft. The sender of the Email pretends to be someone else. Spoofing is one of the most commonly used hacks by hackers, pretending to be someone you knew or a common friend and ask them for some sensitive information such as bank details, contacts, Email addresses, etc.
All they do is infect the computer with a virus that either sends out information within one host system or the virus travels through emails and when it finds a vulnerable system it just exploits it and the process just continues as long as it can find a vulnerable system.
Let’s see how to write a spoof email :
The best way to detect a suspicious/malicious mail is to look at the mail address, because most of the time we just see the name but not the email address, and when you open mail it gets downloaded automatically. Sometimes the objective of the email could be just opening the email. So, the next time when you receive an email, always check the mail address.
And finally, this is what happens when you reply to Spam Mails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QdPW8JrYzQ&t=80s
