English term or phrase: impostering

Der Begriff kommt vor in einer Aufzählung von Risiken, denen Daten im Internet ausgesetzt sein können:
"... data or information on the site may be subject to eavesdropping, sniffing, spoofing, forgery, spamming, ***"impostering"***, tampering, breaking passwords, harassment, fraud, electronic trespassing, hacking, nuking ..."
LEO bietet "Betrug" an, was ist dann aber der Unterschied zu "fraud"? Da der Begriff in Anführungszeichen steht, ist wohl ein übertragener Sinn gemeint.

Identitätsmissbrauch

Explanation:
MMax, ich wollte nur ein paar Links hinzufügen, für die das Kommentarfeld nicht ausreicht. Die Punkte - sollte die Entscheidung zugunsten 'Identitätsmissbrauch' ausfallen - gehören natürlich dir.
...
Impostering (oder Impostoring, von impostor) ist eine Überkategorie, die auf dem Identitätsmissbrauch basiert, und zwar durch Zwischenschaltung oder Vorgabe einer anderen Identität. Ihr Ziel: "acquire sensitive information by pretending to be a trustworthy entity."
Ihr zuzuordnen sind Techniken wie Pharming (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharming) und Phishing (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing).
