[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1802676, member: 318059"] PayPal, like other larger companies hires [URL="https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=3786391"]MarkMonitor[/URL] for brand protection. When they do, the registrar for the domain in question changes to MarkMonitor. For example, even for paypal.com the registrar is MarkMonitor, but the contact information is for [URL="https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=paypal.com"]PayPal[/URL]: [ATTACH=CONFIG]28573[/ATTACH] The same goes for the epl.paypal-communication.com DNS name as well. You really need to dig in to it to determine who is who. The traditional "If it did not come from paypal.com, then it's spoffed email" no longer applicable in most cases. Hackers are probably happy about this change... [/QUOTE]
