English term
email spoofing
Email spoofing may occur in different forms, but all have a similar result: a user receives email that appears to have originated from one source when it actually was sent from another source. Email spoofing is often an attempt to trick the user into making a damaging statement or releasing sensitive information (such as passwords). (Carnegie Mellon University)
You might receive an email that asks for detailed information on a secret company project which appears to come from your boss, but instead comes from your company's competitor. Many well-known companies are daily victims of email spoofing, either accidently with a virus, or deliberately. (DAWN Ontario)

falsejament d'identitat
Si rebeu missatges de rebot per a correu que sembla originar-se des del vostre compte, trobeu missatges al correu brossa amb el remitent "mi" o rebeu una resposta a un missatge que mai no heu enviat, pot ser que sigueu víctima d'un atac de "falsejament d'identitat". El falsejament d'identitat implica el falsejament de l'adreça de retorn del correu sortint per amagar l'origen real del missatge. (GMail)
