HOW SPOOFING WORKS
Spoofed email doesn't require hacking your servers. An attacker puts your domain in the From field and hopes someone acts fast. Enter a domain or email above to see a realistic example built for your business.
1
No hacking required
Attackers don't need access to your email server. They send mail from their own systems with your domain in the From field.
2
Familiar sender names
The display name says CEO, CFO, or IT Support — someone your team recognizes and is used to seeing in their inbox.
3
Your real domain
The address shows your actual domain, not a lookalike typo like yourcornpany.com. That's what makes it believable.
4
Urgent language
Fake invoices, wire transfers, password resets, and emails to your customers pressure people to act fast, before they stop to verify by phone or in person.
5
No warning banners
Without email authentication in place, Outlook and other providers often deliver the message with no external-sender label or junk-folder protection.
6
Protection is possible
DMARC, SPF, and DKIM tell inbox providers which mail is really from you. Our free DMARC checker shows where you stand.
