Phishing E-mail from ICANN Resolve
I received this e-mail, definitely phishing attempt...
Appear to be sent through a softlayer box, IP address: 208.43.70.241
Quote:
Dear Domain Account Holder,

You are being sent this notice from ICANN due to the fact that you
currently own an active domain name. ICANN is currently upgrading all
domains from their registry database.

The upgrade will introduce new control options for your domain and easier
access. The new upgrade is required by the registry. All domain users are
expected to submit their domain information manually at
http://www.icannresolve.com/email/li...75&N=5&L=1&F=T with the
required information for ICANN to apply the required updates.

The upgrades will be applied to accounts on a first come, first serve
basis. You have until July 25, 2008 to submit the required information to
avoid service and domain interruption.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

ICANNResolve
ICANN.org Resolutions Department

Domain name : ICANNRESOLVE.COM registered with NameCheap
The guy also appear to own omegagalaxy.com (also registered with NC)
I forwarded the e-mail with full headers to abuse@namecheap.com
