How to add Fake CC in Attacker profile


Fake CC refers to a simulated Carbon Copy (CC) email address added to phishing simulation emails. It is not real and is used solely to make the phishing simulation appear more legitimate or realistic — mimicking the kind of tactics used by real attackers.


What Does Fake CC Do?

When used in phishing simulations:

  • The recipient sees another email address in the CC field.
  • This adds psychological pressure — for example, they may think a manager or colleague is also receiving the message.
  • It increases the believability of the phishing email.

Here is a step by step guide on how you can keep fake cc:
