Digital Security: Domain Ransom at Computerbright.com
Another scam hits my inbox! Developer's wouldn't find this one particularly interesting, but it's exactly the kind of e-mail I expect my clients would follow up on. Also, cool twist: it involves Nazis. The premise is simple: we own a version of your domain, and unless you pay us for it your brand will suffer. If you're a business owner and you've received an e-mail from computerbright.com, know that nothing about them seems legit.
Background
Here's what it looks like; I get an e-mail from "Nathan" at computerbright.com explaining that his company owns the .NET version of my domain. Obviously, if I care about branding, I'll want to buy the domain from them. Since benevolence is a pillar of their core beliefs, computerbright.com is willing to part with the domain for a mere $599 dollars.
