I reported this attack to the registrar which is porkbun.com 3 days ago. First of all their abuse email address is just replying with some automated messages saying
Porkbun has transitioned to a new abuse reporting process. We are now using an Abuse Reporting Form for all types of abuse reporting. This means we no longer accept abuse reports via email, everything will now be handled through the form.
Their abuse form is abusive. Filling it is laborious with a lot of unnecessary but obligatory or broken (date) fields and when you finally manage to fill it, you will discover that is it broken. Pressing submit button does nothing. Apparently porkbun is more interested in selling domain registrations to criminals than dealing with abusers and preventing phishing attacks like this. Porkbun is protecting criminals and phishing attackers like this one The domain is still valid and has MX record pointing to google which means that attackers are receiving emails to that fake phishing email address thanks to porkbun. And reporting abuse to google is futile as we learned earlier.

What a shame. I am strongly considering ditching porkbun as my domain registrar.

Hello,

Debugging isn't necessary, as the form is working as expected. Occasionally, we receive reports that the abuse reporting form isn't working and it usually is the result of browser settings, extensions, or another issue local to the reporter's computer.

As a one-time courtesy, we will accept your report and enter it into our abuse reporting system.

Can you send us a copy of any emails received as a .eml file for us to investigate?

We look forward to your reply.


Best,
