Answer 2

Deceiving a computer system or other computer users can be referred as spoofing. Spoofing is done by showing fake identity on the Internet. They might think that that is you but actually he/she may be someone else by taking your identity. Spoofing can take place where there is lack of security.

One common example of spoofing is e-mail. By spoofing one can send e-mail by taking someone’s identity. This kind of e-mail asks personal-details and appears like a known sender.
