slazer2au@lemmy.world 8 months agoSomeone compromising your account and transferring the domain away, the register being compromised, someone sending you a fake domain renewal notice (this one I have seen happen)
I have 6 domain renewal notices sitting in my Spam folder now.
Another recent one has been notices supposedly from my email provider saying it’s time to renew. That one almost got me.
I really wish GPG signing of emails had actually taken off. Would have solved this type of problem completely.
At this point I just don’t click any links in emails related to my accounts. I go directly to the website and login to perform the action. Emails are just a notification.

thanks a lot!
That means everyone could use whois to look up the name and address associated with a certain domain if no privacy protection is provided by the provider right?

Some registers will have who is privacy that mask your personal details from the public.
