Spoofing is the act of imitating a trusted individual, website, or web server using a variety of techniques.
Spoofing can be used both for hacking and security purposes — for example, a hacker may spoof caller ID to try to get your personal information, or a journalist from a repressive country may spoof their phone number to prevent the government from tracking them.
Phishing is a type of scam that makes use of spoofed email addresses and websites to convince users to give up money or personal information to hackers.
