What Is Spoofing?
Spoofing is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker attempts to gain access to a computer system or network by disguising themselves as a legitimate user. The attacker may use a variety of techniques to achieve this, such as creating false identities, manipulating data, or using malicious software.

It is a serious threat to the security of any system, as it can be difficult to detect and prevent.
