origination source. Therefore it is extremely easy to ’spoof’. Any
person with any small amount of technical knowledge or posessing a
program can create and send an email that looks like it came from
anywhere. You could receive an email that looks like it is from your
boss, your bank, your friends, your family, even your congressman or
the President that has been completely forged.
