apsimetimas kitu laiško siuntėju
Spoofing yra apsimetimas kitu(kita). Pavyzdžiui, svetainė gali skelbtis esanti parduotuvė, nors iš tikrųjų tik priima pinigus iš mokėjimo kortelių, bet nesiunčia jokių prekių, asmuo gali apsimesti, kad jo el. pašto adresas yra [email protected], nors jo vardas nėra Jonas arba kompiuteris gali pasivadinti www.pvz.com serveriu, nors tai būtų netiesa.
