We’ve recently become aware of a phishing scheme targeting customers of various registrars. Since this is targeting administrators directly, I felt it was worth of a mention even though it’s not MDaemon specific. This is a little difference from most phishing as it’s targeted to domain owners, and specifically mentions their domain registrar by name.
An example message sent to one of my own addresses is below, noting that I am using “TUCOWS, INC.” as my registrar for the domain in question.

As with all phishes, you should simply ignore and delete it without any further action (or report it to the sending network, if you have the time and energy to hunt it down)
