No. It only evidences that the company is taking steps to prevent further data loss & breaches. This matter does not constitute acknowledgment, although it could be useful for proving your claim that the company is liable for losing the domain you had there. | |

I lost a valuable domain that was held by GoDaddy, and they claimed it couldn't have possibly been their error (which was obviously a lie). | |
| Dec 26, 2020 at 22:41 | comment | added | eps | @Darren that's exactly why it's a good test, spoofing email addresses is not difficult so you can't trust something simply because the address looks legit. also the email really doesn't sound legit at all -- what company gives out bonuses out of the blue but only if you reply within 4 days. "You must respond immediately" is a classic scam technique, this was well done. | |

| Dec 26, 2020 at 7:51 | comment | added | Darren | I’d be more annoyed at having been deemed to have fallen for a phishing scam, when everything you’ve posted (the message in context, the from address) makes this seem legit. I wonder if the links led to an obviously fake URL or if it was a godaddy.com address. | |
