We have isolated an email message which seems to be spoofing an email from easyDNS to a member, which reads as follows:

`<br></br>From: info@easydns.com<br></br>To: x<br></br>Subject: <strong>DETECTED</strong> Online User Violation<br></br>Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2006 00:22:50 +0200`

Dear user peter,
It has come to our attention that your Easydns User Profile ( x ) records are out of date. For further details see the attached document.
Thank you for using Easydns!
The Easydns Support Team

+++ Attachment: No Virus (Clean)
+++ Easydns Antivirus - www.easydns.com

with an attachment called **account-report.zip**.

This email is not from us and the attachment is likely a virus or a trojan.

A few important points come to mind:

- We will *never* send out an email attachment for the user to open
- We will not instruct you to “follow this link” to update your account profile
- easyDNS publishes SPF data for the easydns.com domain
