Glad it was useful to you. Apparently, there was a pretty heavy and well orchestrated attack with a ton of different domain names registered going after not only Network Solutions’ customers, but some other large registrars as well.

Just another part of life in wonderful cyberspace.

I just woke up to this little bugger myself and admittedly I was pretty scared for a minute or two. Of course a quick google that pointed to sites like this set my mind greatly at ease…

Thanks for posting on it Chris!

Wow, Google sure works fast. A nice reminder to myself that “fresh” content can definitely help traffic.

Thanks for the comments Gordon and Manfred. And thanks for the additional domain info Manfred.

These types of scammers are constantly changing their urls as they are constantly being shut down or blocked by ISP’s.

The first one I posted sys44.biz was registered on 10/30 and sys58.biz was registerered earlier today, 10/31

Thanks again for helping make people aware.

Just got the same email. McAfee Siteadvisor is blocking access to – in my case – sys58.biz

Thanks, great help. Just had 3 similar to this one. You are right – very clever. I even went to the website to see if it was real or not. Cheers. Gordon Styles in China
