I want to share a warning with you regarding a spear phishing email I received that claimed to be from eNom and even used a “eNom” branded ccTLD domain name to carry out this scam. I consider it spearphishing rather than phishing because it contained information specific to the domain name that was mentioned, and these types of targeted phishing campaigns can be more confusing for recipients.
Here is the email that was sent:
