Re: VodaPHONE.co.uk
I'm pretty sure the domain is owned by Vodafone and it points to vodafone.co.uk, so not a phishing site.

What makes you so sure? Yes,
What makes you so sure? Yes, links forward to the Vodafone website, but most of these links do not have login pages. Those that do are not forwarded to the site. According to Firefox the login is a security breach. My partner worked for Vodafone very recently and would frequent the website and he thinks this is definitely a dodgy website too.

Re: What makes you so sure?
Let's see.
- It has the same registrar as vodafone.co.uk, which suggests the whois contact information might very well be accurate.
- www.vodaphone.co.uk is actually an alias for www.vodafone.co.uk, which means the website that loads is vodafone.co.uk.
- I can't be sure, but considering this must be a fairly common typo to make and that the domain is over a decade old, one would imagine that Vodafone's lawyers would have noticed it and regained control of the domain by now.
Yes, Firefox warns you about an invalid certificate when you access the page over TLS, because the certificate is for online.vodafone.co.uk. It looks like nobody bothered to test if the CNAME works.

VodaPHONE.co.uk. Dodgy?
Take a look. I believe this is a phishing site.
Vodaphone.co.uk.
Website seems safe to browse, but upon logging in you get a security prompt (in Firefox). It is identical to vodafone.co.uk but I am 99% sure they are not affiliated. Also, this website appears at the top of Google and not on other search engines.
