Just saw the best email ever … in my inbox … domain is relatively new

So I decided to have a little bit of fun today. I got the following email through jaredrimer.net’s contact form.

The creation date was November 4, 2020 UTC. It expires in three years. There is a little bit more information listed like where it is pointing, and who registered the domain I.E. Enom, Godaddy, etc. but I am not interested in sharing all of what is listed publicly, you can look that up on your own. I just thought this was quite interesting, a domain claiming to be a host security domain blatently asking for email address and password, and nothing on its web site on who they were. Quite interesting.

When I went to the URL base domain, the page looks to have an image. Nothing more. It also has a supposed copyright C pannel that is linked. When I went to the address in this email, it asked for an email address and a password.

I just decided to have a little fun. I gave them an email address all right, and I even gave them a password. The site said: “Thank you for your trust. You’ll receive an email from us shortly.”

No, I didn’t give them anything on my domains, in fact, they won’t be finding me where I sent them.

Updated 11:25 am PT to clean up slight errors.
