Lately we have seen a number of very creative phishing emails, pretending to be sent from mail administrators warning you that your email account will expire if you do not confirm your details. 

Senders of these phishing emails have gotten access to recipients email addresses by looking domains up in the domain whois-tools, where information about domain owners are public.

What is a phishing email?

• A phishing email is a fraud email that looks as though a legitimate service provider sent it. It includes a logo, address and other standard elements.
•  The phishing email often asks you to click on a link, which might  look like e.g mail.cpanel.net. However, instead it links to the phishing website.
• If you enter your username, password or other personal information on a phishing site, your information might be used by hackers, who set up the phishing site.
• Furthermore they will have access to your Control panel, FTP and email account with 1-grid.com.
