In ICT, masquerading means to someone that is phishing for information (credit card numbers, passwords, usernames) is pretending to be someone trustworthy.

For instance, a person trying to steal your bank account information may email saying that they are Bank of America, and due to a security breach, they need you to confirm all of your personal information. They are not really Bank of America. They are masquerading as Bank of America to make you feel safe giving out your information.
