    HI, today, I got an email which seems to be from HostGator ( it is a phishing mail)

    It will redirect you to this page:
    http://users5.nofeehost.com/soader/cp.htm
    NEVER ENTER YOUR LOGIN DETAILS HERE

    There CP seems to be like of HostGator.

    Just an alert! They may run away with your login details.

    Security Tips:
    1. Mark Such email as SPAM to be protected in future.
    2. Delete their cookies and caches.
    3. Bookmark your own hosting provider web address and always use it to login.

    Thanks
    Regards

    Thanks for sharing. You should let HostGator know about this so they can send out an alert.

    cPanel never asks for your domain name during login. Only your username and password.

    Yes, you are right!
    but that is really a terrific phishing technique. What do you say?

    Not really,

    It's copying the source and pasting it, and adding a simple form. :)

    lol what you want? that is 99% of phishing does. You want it to give you a lollipop while it grabs your info? Or maybe do some funky IE and FF hack to change the URL in the bar to the target host ? :)
