This quick reference shows the hotspots for the new GPS Spoofing incidents.
There are only 3 areas where spoofing (fake signal) has been seen. Each aircraft is different, but the key pilot action is to de-select GPS as a sensor input – before entering these areas, or immediately on discovering spoofing.

I have had spoofing last week in eastern Turkey, fron about 100nm west of VAN intil well into Tehran. GPS error was 190nm.
GPS jamming was already occurring (as normal in Ankara) so NAVRAD inhibit was already off. Clocks jumped 9mins forward so FMC GPS input was immediately isolated to prevent FMC poisition error. Seemed to work.
