When I get a spoofed email from someone it’s easy to spot but how do they know who to spoof?
So this morning I got an email from my brother in law, they used his name, but obviously not his address.
My question is how did they know to use his name? Is his email compromised and that’s how they got his name and my email address or is the compromise on my side, or is it as simple as email is easy to read the to from and nothing is necessarily compromised?

Rainbowrainbow table attack is one way…
Or “hacked” databases , not always databases are stolen; always have alternative email for unimportant stuff.
