Definition of spoofing sender identification
484D Definition of spoofing sender identification
A sender identification is a spoofing sender identification if:
the sender identification is a message header that:
identifies, or purportedly identifies, an entity covered by subsection 484F(2); or
identifies, or purportedly identifies, a thing or matter; and
if that message header were used in a communication, that use would be likely to cause a reasonable person to believe that:
if subparagraph (a)(i) applies—the entity sent the communication or authorised the sending of the communication; or
if subparagraph (a)(ii) applies—the purpose of the communication is to give information that is true in relation to the thing or matter; and
that belief would be incorrect.
