GoDaddy’s Paul Nicks posted an interesting job opportunity on LinkedIn that may be of interest to someone who reads this blog. GoDaddy is seeking to hire a company Vice President of Asia. GoDaddy is looking to build a strong market position in Asia, and this hire will be helping to lead the company.

According to the job opening on the GoDaddy careers page, “The Vice President of Asia is on point to build a market-leading position for Go Daddy in Asia and China by delivering compelling end-to-end experiences for small business supported by world-class go to market activities offering SMB solutions and platforms.”

It seems pretty clear that GoDaddy is eager to

I am beginning to sound redundant here, but there seems to be another phishing email aimed at infiltrating GoDaddy customer accounts. I was forwarded an email from a DomainInvesting.com reader asking me to warn others about a phishing email he received with the subject “Special Savings! $1.99 .COM now at GoDaddy!”

The email has a large graphic coupon (which I couldn’t see because Google flagged it as spam), and the link appears to utilize a url shortener to send the recipient to an unknown website. Most likely, the landing page will ask for the visitor’s account name and password under the guise of registering a domain name at a discounted price. If the visitor does not have 2 factor authentication enabled (or other account locks), it could make the domain names in that account vulnerable to theft.

I want to share another GoDaddy account phishing email that is playing on the ICANN verification requirements to get people to open the email and possibly click a link to a phishing website. One giveaway is the link to a non-GoDaddy owned website that tries to give people the impression it is associated with the company. The email subject is “Immediate Verification Required” and it may have one of your domain names listed as well.

I won’t mention the website used to avoid giving it publicity, but if you click any links (or paste links into a browser), make sure the website is the one you intend to visit. In addition, the GoDaddy email should have your name or registrant name, and any email requiring action should have a corresponding notification in your account to confirm that it is an outstanding issue.

If you ever have a question about whether or not a domain name is a phishing email, or if you know it is, you can report a phishing email to GoDaddy very easily and they can confirm.

Here is the content of the email:
