Beware this GoDaddy Phishing Scheme

Fresh phishing email tries to get Go Daddy clients to give away account details.

I received a phishing email today that I haven’t seen ahead of.

Titled “Notice regarding GODADDY account activation”, it won’t fool most internet users. But it could certainly dupe some people.

The message reads:

Dear Godaddy User:

This notification is generated automatically as a service to you since you subscribe to DomainAlert.

Since of the Comprehensive upgrade of the website system, please log in and re-activate your account.

Official Go Daddy communications always include your client number.

The phishing email sends users to WorkGodaddy.com, which has a whois record indicating the owner is in China.

[Update: Go Daddy shut down this phishing attempt. But keep in mind it’s easy for someone to change the URL and try it again. Be careful.]
