Q-1  

Spoofing is a kind of data breach where hacker impersonates another device on network for stealing the confidential information, to introduce the malware on our system or to bypass access controls. Most of the times user will be not aware that there system is hacked. For example, the most recent breach which I came across in one of the article stated that the hackers entered into company’s network and started stealing the customer’s personal information but the organization is not aware of it for almost 1 month.  Not only the organizations, but individuals also fall in to these types of scams. Individuals receive an email as sender from some bank or trusted firm asking their personal details or account details so that they can provide additional security to that account. Persons who are not aware of these scams will reply to that mail with all the confidential information. Once the hackers receive the mail from the individual they start accessing their information without recipients notice.

It is difficult to track these email scams as the senders email address will be forged as a trusted mail address and difficult to track the IP address or DNS of that system. Spoofing is possible even through phone calls. In some cases, users won’t see any number on their phone but they get display as unknown caller ID or unknown number. The number will not be displayed even in their call log.

Threats may occur knowingly or due to error by humans, malicious programs or persons, or existing system vulnerabilities. Authentication is one of the secured methods used by operating system to ensure that the user using a program is authorized or not. It provides authentication using several techniques such as login-passwords, key cards, etc.  The Operating system has software modules that allows the user to take backups or make a copy of data and facilitate successful restoration of these backups whenever needed.
