Just to warn everyone, there is a phishing attacked underway, aimed at Godaddy.com account holders.
I received over 100 e-mail overnight purporting to be from Godaddy.com seeking you to log in to your account, however the link in the e-mail goes the domain cyber-edge.com which is unrelated to Godaddy.com. I consider this a a brazen attack, because the domain used in the phishing e-mail is actually registered with Godaddy.com, which may trick some into thinking it is a legit e-mail, which is certainly is not
I have notified Godaddy.com about the situation.
If you get one of these e-mails do NOT click on the link and give out your account info.
Here is how the e-mail reads:

Thanks for letting us know Mike. I’m surprised the scammers don’t bother to at least hire someone who speaks proper English to write their emails…
Thanks for the update. I also received 100+ emails, and responded to support@godaddy.com, thinking this was real issue (I did not click on the link). Didn’t know it was a hack until I read your post.
Thanks for the update.
Luckily I haven’t received any of these emails YET. I’ll be sure to pass this along in my video today 🙂
