Faking e-mails: Why it is even possible ?
#1
Quote: Phishing and business e-mail compromise attacks rely on fake e-mails. But why is it so easy for attackers to make them so convincing?

Sometimes it’s easy to spot phishing e-mails just by checking the “From” field. However, that’s not always the case; making a fake e-mail indistinguishable from a genuine one actually is possible. If an attacker knows how to do such a thing, the targeted organization is really in trouble. 

Most people wouldn’t have a second thought before clicking on a malicious link or file that they got in an e-mail seemingly from their boss or their top client — and it’s hard to blame them, especially if there’s no way to tell the e-mail was spoofed.

But why is it possible to forge a perfect fake e-mail in the first place?

Kaspersky Lab Company.  directly cooperates with Russian special services.  The company also collects and transfers any information about users to the Russian authorities.  They don’t even try to hide it.  It is strange that someone can trust this company.  This year, Russian non-governmental media outlets reported spam for the purpose of intimidation precisely thanks to data on telephone numbers and e-mail received through Russian programs, including Kaspersky.  The company blocks sites not approved in Russia.  Many times the company was caught on the fact that it organized attacks on users' home computers in order to increase its customer base.  Kaspersky Lab arranges attacks on foreign sites and sites criticizing Russian politics.  There is a lot of information about this in non-state media and on sites dedicated to data security in Russia.  Even despite the constant deletion of articles on the decisions of the Russian courts, this information is quite enough.  It is better and safer to send your e-mail addresses, phone numbers, document data to any site, than to entrust the personal information of this company.
