Godaddy Phishing email

[Andrew Wright]

Just received a very convincing Godaddy Phishing email - It looks as though it's from GoDaddy, but it's not. It used scraped info from whois including email address and registrant name (in the salutation and header), so easy to mistake it for a genuine email.

Subject "Action Required: godaddy Important Information - 6968" from "GoDaddy Validates" (support@secureserver.net).
It asks you to click a link to "verify your email address" then takes you to smrtp.ru which tries to run something nasty.

Thankfully, my anti-virus software saved me...
