What is a "spoof web site"?
A spoof website is one that mimics another website to lure you into disclosing confidential information. This can be done even with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) using 128-bit encryption. To make spoof sites seem legitimate, spoof web sites use the names, logos, graphics and even code of the real company's site. They can even fake the https web address that appears in the address field at the top of your browser window and the "SSL padlock" that appears in the lower right corner of your browser.
