Is That "From" Address Real?
When you receive an email, the "From" address is supposed to show you who sent the message, and the "To" address indicates who the message is intended for. However, it's important to be aware that both of these pieces of information can be easily manipulated or "spoofed" by someone with malicious intent.
Email spoofing is a technique used by cybercriminals to make an email appear as if it is coming from a legitimate source, when in fact it is not. This can be done for various reasons, such as phishing attacks, where the attacker tries to trick you into providing sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers, or simply to spread malware by making you believe the email is from a trusted contact.
Because the "From" address can be faked, it's crucial to be cautious and not automatically trust emails based on the sender's name or address alone. Always verify the authenticity of unexpected emails, especially if they ask for personal information or prompt you to click on links or download attachments.
