Knock, knock. Whois there? Get ready for anonymized email addresses after domain privacy shake-up

Re: A bit more protection for the black hats

Lets say:

the email is from natwestbankonline.com

it is addressed specifically to you

all the sender headers match

however, you aren't entirely convinced it comes from Natwest Bank.

You can check whois, and see that it is registered to a domain privacy service, whereas the more familiar natwest.com is registered to National Westminster Bank plc at their registered head office.

You can conclude that it is not a genuine email.
