Spoofing someone in Slack is terrifyingly easy
Slack allows you to edit your &quot;Display Name&quot; on your profile. That&#x27;s what everybody else sees. There&#x27;s no enforcement of uniqueness.<p>In other words, if the big boss is &quot;John Smith&quot;, you can set your &quot;display name&quot; to &quot;John Smith&quot; and you can also set your picture to John Smith&#x27;s picture and then poof! you&#x27;re basically John Smith in Slack so far as everybody else is concerned.
