I received an email from "enomcentral" requesting me to login in order to verify the WHOIS info of my domains "per ICANN" regulations. The email points to:

en0mcentral.com (that's a zero!)

The domain is hosted with Yahoo.

Me too.
I never click on link within email anyway.
If I want to see the site, I copy the link and paste
it to notepad and check the url first ;)

Looks like email was sent from [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]213.232.95.73
It appears to be a compromised machine. The domain it hosts is hcd.homecare-direct.co.uk
Would someone in the UK inform homecare-direct.co.uk that their box/mailserver is hijacked?

The sad part is that most likely they already have a few dozen login and passwords.

If you visited that page and you were already logged in to your eNom account, change your password. Some scripts are able to steal such login information.

when eNom sends e-mail to verify whois information, you don't need to enter your enom login information. I had few of those e-mail asked me to verify whois, and the site to verify enom whois is http://wdrp.name-services.com/
not in enomcentral.com or enom.com

Got one from GD. I copied the ICANN #, logged out and closed the browser. Shortly thereafter, I reopened a browser and logged in normally and pasted the # in the ICANN box. Paranoid here!
