Explicación
## Step 1A spoofed email or website is a deceptive tactic used by cybercriminals. This involves creating an email or website that appears to be from a legitimate source, but in reality, it is not. The goal of this tactic is to trick individuals into believing that the email or website is from a trusted source, with the intention of stealing sensitive information or infecting the user's device with malware.## Step 2The first option, "An Imposter email or website that is designed to look like it came from a legitimate company", accurately describes a spoofed email or website. This is because it is designed to appear as if it is from a legitimate source, which is the primary characteristic of a spoofed email or website.## Step 3The second option, "An email or website that was hacked and no longer works", does not accurately describe a spoofed email or website. While it is true that emails or websites can be hacked, this does not necessarily mean they are spoofed. A hacked email or website may not work properly, but it is not necessarily designed to appear as if it is from a legitimate source.## Step 4The third option, "An email or website that shouldn't be used because hackers stole the usernames and passwords for it", also does not accurately describe a spoofed email or website. While it is true that hackers can steal usernames and passwords, this does not necessarily mean the email or website is spoofed. An email or website that has been hacked and the usernames and passwords stolen may not necessarily appear source.## Step 5The fourth option, "All of the above", is not correct because the second and third options do not accurately describe a spoofed email or website.
