E-mail Spoofing : Comment l’éviter et protéger votre entreprise
Vous est-il déjà arrivé de recevoir un e-mail qui semblait légitime — avec le bon logo, un ton familier — mais qui vous a tout de même paru suspect ? Pire encore, un de vos clients vous a-t-il déjà contacté après avoir reçu un e-mail douteux qui semblait provenir de votre entreprise ?
C’est ça, le spoofing d’e-mail.
Le spoofing d’e-mail est une technique utilisée par des cybercriminels pour falsifier l’adresse de l’expéditeur afin de faire croire que le message provient d’une source fiable — souvent une entreprise connue. Leur objectif ? Tromper le destinataire pour l’amener à cliquer sur un lien malveillant ou à divulguer des informations sensibles.
Dans cet article, nous allons vous expliquer comment fonctionne le spoofing d’e-mail, les risques qu’il représente et, surtout, les actions que vous pouvez mettre en place pour protéger votre entreprise et vos clients.
À quoi ressemble un e-mail spoof ?
Voici les éléments clés à surveiller pour identifier un e-mail spoofé :
- Spoofing du nom d’affichage : un e-mail où le nom d’affichage est identique ou très proche de celui d’un employé réel de l’entreprise. Cela crée un faux sentiment de légitimité.
- Spoofing du domaine : l’expéditeur falsifie non seulement le nom d’affichage, mais aussi le nom de domaine de l’entreprise. L’adresse e-mail semble alors provenir du domaine officiel, rendant la fraude plus difficile à détecter.
- Adresse de l’expéditeur suspecte : c’est souvent un indice révélateur. Même si le nom d’affichage peut sembler familier, le domaine qui suit le symbole “@” est souvent différent ou étrange. Cela trahit généralement une tentative de spoofing.
- Un ton pressant ou menaçant : les cybercriminels utilisent souvent un langage alarmant pour pousser le destinataire à agir rapidement, sans prendre le temps de réfléchir. Cela peut inclure des menaces ou une fausse urgence.
- Promesses de gains ou de cadeaux : ces e-mails prétendent souvent que vous avez gagné un prix ou une récompense. Cela pousse les victimes à fournir des informations personnelles ou à cliquer sur des liens ou pièces jointes malveillants pouvant infecter leurs appareils.
- Incohérences visuelles : certains e-mails spoofés présentent des logos obsolètes, des fautes de mise en page ou un format différent des communications habituelles de l’entreprise. Bien que les fraudeurs deviennent de plus en plus habiles à imiter le style visuel, certaines tentatives restent faciles à repérer.
Stopper le spoofing d’e-mail : les bonnes pratiques à connaître
Le spoofing d’e-mail peut être limité, voire empêché, en configurant plusieurs mécanismes d’authentification comme SPF, DKIM et DMARC. Chacun joue un rôle distinct dans la vérification des messages, mais c’est leur mise en œuvre conjointe qui permet de protéger efficacement votre domaine contre les tentatives de spoofing.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
SPF est un protocole d’authentification des e-mails conçu pour vérifier l’identité de l’expéditeur.
Pour mettre en place SPF, vous devez déclarer les adresses IP ou serveurs de messagerie autorisés à envoyer des e-mails en votre nom. Lorsqu’un e-mail est reçu, le serveur de réception interroge le serveur DNS du domaine pour vérifier si l’adresse IP de l’expéditeur figure bien parmi celles autorisées. Si ce n’est pas le cas, le message peut être marqué comme suspect ou bloqué.
L’e-mail n’est délivré dans la boîte de réception du destinataire que s’il provient d’une adresse IP autorisée et s’il réussit la validation SPF. En configurant correctement les enregistrements SPF, vous pouvez améliorer la délivrabilité de vos messages, réduire les risques de spam et prévenir l’usurpation d’adresse e-mail.
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)
DKIM est une signature numérique ajoutée à chaque e-mail que vous envoyez. Elle fonctionne en complément des enregistrements SPF.
En plus de vérifier l’authenticité de l’expéditeur, DKIM permet de s’assurer que le contenu du message n’a pas été altéré ou modifié pendant son acheminement. C’est un moyen efficace de garantir l’intégrité des e-mails et de renforcer la confiance des destinataires.
Pour configurer DKIM, il faut publier une clé publique dans les enregistrements DNS de votre domaine. Lorsqu’un e-mail est envoyé, votre serveur génère une empreinte numérique du message (incluant le contenu et les titres) et la signe à l’aide d’une clé privée, qui reste confidentielle.
Lors de la réception, le serveur du destinataire utilise la clé publique pour vérifier si cette signature est bien authentique. Si l’empreinte correspond, cela signifie que le message n’a pas été altéré pendant son envoi.
Cette méthode garantit l’intégrité de vos e-mails et empêche les attaquants de se faire passer pour vous, puisqu’ils ne possèdent pas la clé privée nécessaire pour signer les messages.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance)
DMARC est une méthode d’authentification avancée conçue pour prévenir le spoofing e-mail. Elle repose sur les protocoles SPF et DKIM, et permet de définir une politique claire à appliquer lorsqu’un message échoue à ces vérifications.
Concrètement, DMARC vous permet de publier une politique dans votre DNS indiquant aux serveurs de messagerie des destinataires quoi faire lorsqu’un e-mail ne passe pas les contrôles SPF ou DKIM. Trois actions sont possibles :
Action 1 : Aucune action
Aucune mesure n’est prise, même si le message échoue aux vérifications SPF ou DKIM.
L’e-mail est quand même transmis dans la boîte de réception du destinataire.
Action 2 : Quarantine
L’e-mail est livré, mais redirigé vers le dossier des spams ou courrier indésirable, car il n’a pas passé les contrôles SPF/DKIM.
Action 3 : Rejeter
Si cette politique est choisie, tout e-mail qui échoue aux vérifications SPF ou DKIM est simplement rejeté. Il ne sera jamais livré au destinataire.
Comment Zoho Campaigns vous aide à prévenir le spoofing d’identité par email et à protéger votre domaine
Zoho Campagins permet à chaque utilisateur de configurer facilement les enregistrements SPF et DKIM afin d’authentifier son domaine.
Si un email réussit les vérifications SPF et DKIM, la politique DMARC ne s’applique pas. En revanche, si l’une de ces vérifications échoue, le serveur de réception consulte alors la politique DMARC du domaine pour déterminer comment traiter le message. Il est important de noter qu’une politique DMARC ne peut être activée qu’après la mise en place des enregistrements SPF et DKIM, sans quoi la validation DMARC échouera.
Une fois l’authentification SPF et DKIM configurée pour votre domaine, vous pouvez définir la politique DMARC dans les enregistrements DNS de votre domaine. Vous pouvez en apprendre davantage sur la configuration des enregistrements DMARC ici.
Configurer SPF et DKIM permet non seulement de lutter contre spoofing e-mail, mais aussi d’améliorer la délivrabilité de vos messages. En plus de SPF et DKIM, Zoho Campaigns propose également plusieurs fonctionnalités axées sur la délivrabilité, afin d'assurer que vos emails atteignent toujours la boîte de réception.
E-mail spoofing évolue constamment, et rester passif face à cette menace peut entraîner des pertes financières ou nuire à la réputation de votre entreprise.
En mettant en place de manière proactive des protocoles d’authentification email tels que SPF, DKIM et DMARC, les entreprises peuvent réduire considérablement les risques liés à l’usurpation d’identité par email.

Zoho Creator customer portal limitation | Zoho One
I'm asking you all for any feedback as to the logic or reasoning behind drastically limiting portal users when Zoho already meters based on number of records. I'm a single-seat, Zoho One Enterprise license holder. If my portal users are going to add records, wouldn't that increase revenue for Zoho as that is how Creator is monetized? Why limit my customer portal to only THREE external users when more users would equate to more records being entered into the database?!? (See help ticket reply below.)Script Editor not an option
