Phishers Targetting Domain Owners

I mentioned that phishers were targetting eNom quite recently, but it seems that eNom was not alone. We’ve also been informed that some of the other registrars, including Network Solutions, are being targetted.

If you get a suspicious email purporting to be from your domain registrar please let us know.

Take a few simple precautions.

DO NOT send credit card information via email.

If you are being asked to login to a registrars site to verify data DO NOT use the link in the email. Go directly to the registrar’s site in your browser ie. type the link in yourself

If I get hold of any of the phishing emails I’ll try to post screenshots

Update: To learn more about the email targetting Network Solutions’ users and to see a sample check out their blog post.
