I'm just hoping the exam doesn't ask about the 'Nigerian prince' version of email spoofing. That one's a classic!

Option D made me chuckle. 'Reply All' spams are the bane of my existence, but that's not really email spoofing, is it? I'll go with A.

Hmm, I was thinking option B was the right answer. Isn't email spoofing also used for phishing attacks to steal personal information? Either way, it's a sneaky tactic.

I agree with Harley. Option A is the textbook definition of email spoofing. It's a way for attackers to impersonate a trusted sender and trick recipients.
