Don’t panic — this doesn’t mean you’re hacked.

👉 Email spoofing means the sender address is faked to trick you into believing the email is real.

✅𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧?

Hackers can change the “From” address using:

✅Webmail identities
✅Outlook / Thunderbird settings
✅Compromised servers
✅Fake scripts

So the email looks real, but it isn’t.

Open Email in Webmail or Outlook and check Headers and compare:

✅Sender-ID
✅Authenticated-ID
✅If they don’t match → it’s spoofed.

Set up your domain’s security records in cPanel:
✔ SPF
✔ DKIM
✔ DMARC
✅And enable Spam Filters to block suspicious emails.

👉Stay alert. Don’t fall for spoofed emails.
