I believe this is actually sent by the same crew - seemingly with a list of registrars to target. It has all the same hallmarks, and very similar subjects, messages and destinations.

The emails sent seem to be originating from spambot software called Cutwail - installed as a trojan on thousands of end-user's PCs. The software itself is pretty advanced - reportedly it is capable of such tricks as automatically creating hotmail accounts and bypassing their captcha system.

It's no surprise that the phishing targets themselves seem to be adapting.

I responded on the other thread on this subject here and wanted to just say that we are warning customers to be careful and to change their acct info if they even think they may have clicked on a spooofed link.Its on the Network Solutions home page and the blog
Andy,

We took the advice of the community and are sending text emails to customers to warn them of the phishing scam.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been flooded with these over the past three days. I've been forwarding them to abuse@networksolutions.com and always get a reply back stating they're working with the registrars of the domains doing the phishing and asking me to continue forwarding the phishing e-mails to them. This morning I got another e-mail telling me all the domains doing the phishing have been shut-down. For me it was easy to spot these attacks cause the idiots didn't even use the e-mail address I use for domain management. That and the link was clearly not to NetSol.
