Email spoofing is an attack in which attackers impersonate someone the target knows, is a much more subtle way to compromise a user’s credentials or device.

It’s the holiday season again, which means family gatherings, good food, and plenty of toasts. It also means a lot of online activity—buying gifts, getting promotional offers, booking deliveries—all of which mean a continuous flow of emails sent to your personal and business accounts.

If only there was a way to prevent that! Luckily, there is.
