  • lepidotteri lepidotteri.⟠ | 🦇🔊 (@lepidotteri) reported

    @danfinlay maybe dont use clearly ****** DNS providers. Just need to buy 1 domain off Namecheap to understand the service is stuck in 2010 and meant to be avoided

  • Degoz0x Chigozie The Afiari Guy (@Degoz0x) reported

    Is @Namecheap down?

  • XpanderCrew Xpander (@XpanderCrew) reported

    @DotTheShake Right on, agreed, but the one running the show @Namecheap is also spearheading Namebase which is the most public access point to Handshake, just confusing the crap out of me if it's either a canary in the coal mine moment or a future 'uh oh' moment that destroys Handshake ability

  • wmitsuda Willian Mitsuda - wmitsuda.eth (☕,☕) (@wmitsuda) reported

    @bantg TBF, I'd say any registrar's customer support has admin access to do that kind of operations, it just happened that the attack target uses namecheap

  • n4n084191635 n4n0 (@n4n084191635) reported

    The biggest question is why ******** someone would still go with namecheap.

  • connectminhal Minhal Nawaz 🇵🇰 (@connectminhal) reported

    @Namecheap I was facing issues with server performance, which made my page speed extremely low. I used countless ways to optimize my site, but everything went back on track when I shifted my hosting.

  • Crypto_JS_ Crypto_JS_ 🔺️ (@Crypto_JS_) reported

    @Namecheap wtf are you doing?

  • ozichukwukamma ọgọamaka (@ozichukwukamma) reported

  • soondooboop soondooboop.eth ⌐◨-◨ (@soondooboop) reported

    @sidenoun @Namecheap hmm nice! 4.99 isn't bad, but man 1.78 was 🤌

  • emilianobonassi emiliano.eth 🦇 🔊 @NFTNYC (@emilianobonassi) reported

    .@Namecheap @NamecheapCEO when post-mortem around the issue and Root Cause Analysis? users and customers deserve answers 🪃

  • GUA Thomas Clowes (@GUA) reported

    @danfinlay @Namecheap Hmm. People are quick to blame Namecheap here. But Namecheap are also slow to provide a statement/evidence that it's not their issue. Following.

  • 2laxar 2laxar (@2laxar) reported

    @Namecheap Everyone needs tgo cancel their namecheap domains or you will get inside hacked like the rest of websites right now

  • DotTheShake TheShake/ (@DotTheShake) reported

    @XpanderCrew @Namecheap The problem is custodial services. Before Namecheap, it was GoDaddy, before them, other registrars. And the same is true for custodial financial services. See the recent problems across BlockFi, Celsius, etc.

  • NamecheapCEO Richard Kirkendall (@NamecheapCEO) reported

    If you are running a high value crypto wallet or exchange service and expect million dollar security for $8-$10 a year at ANY registrar, you are at risk and are a target. If you are using Namecheap, let me know ASAP so we can move you to high level security and monitoring.

  • octal Ryan (🌈 BTC Holds 2022!) Lackey (@octal) reported

    @officer_cia @Namecheap Also support for registry lock is key; many registrars don’t pass that through :(

  • bneiluj Julien Bouteloup - bneiluj.eth (@bneiluj) reported

    @NamecheapCEO @LefterisJP @Alexintosh I’m also a big namecheap customer and hearing from you that you’ve shutdown all CS auth to dns stuff until end of investigation would make me feel better tbh. Also dns configs for newbies should require 2FA at least so advanced clients aren’t impacted by newbies lack of knowledge

  • soondooboop soondooboop.eth ⌐◨-◨ (@soondooboop) reported

    .wtf domains are full price now on .@Namecheap? we are no longer early...😐

  • ylleskjorta осел путин (@ylleskjorta) reported

    @Namecheap @DerekSilva You will not provide services soon if you keep allowing this **** to go on

  • GautamTweeting Gautam (@GautamTweeting) reported

    @Namecheap You have no coupons for hosting renewal. I have created a support ticket with ID TVY-789-21148. I have been with namecheap for 4 years. You are requested to provide some discount for being a loyal namecheap customer. Or I might have to switch to some other hosting providers.

  • DotTheShake TheShake/ (@DotTheShake) reported

    Ironically, while Namecheap took a lot of heat for being the target of DNS hijacking this week, they remain out front as the most proactive registrar aiming to address the underlying problem by actively investing in decentralized DNS solutions.

  • TmTCph_Whale MΞTΛVΞRSΞ (@TmTCph_Whale) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Im just saying, maybe do a checkup who you let in - I’m not saying that people should not use your service - its probably great.

  • assafliran Assaf Liran (@assafliran) reported

    @NamecheapCEO #Namecheap has the best pricing but the worst support service you can ever find... I have more than 100+ domains with them and hosting server but the support team in Ukraine will give you hard time till you move back to Bluehost.... @NamecheapCEO

  • p4ula cr (@p4ula) reported

    @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap Thanks for getting in touch! Of course they have "weekend" support, I can't reach them. Can we do anything to limit the ongoing damage, for example by blocking the catch-all MX that's taking in all the mail now?

  • moo9000 Mikko Ohtamaa 🐮 (@moo9000) reported

    @flubdubster @ConvexFinance While I agree with you that security critical applications need more secure DNS registrar, Namecheap also broke their terms of service by transferring domain control away in a fraudulent manner.

  • sollog SOLLOG (@sollog) reported

    @Namecheap marketplace SUCKS IMO You list a site you pay them to register and they hide it in serps when someone looks for that keyword So #NameCheapMarketplace is yet another useless #DomainNames Market Push the domains of domain name owners that waste their time listing w/u

  • sterluu Nikola Vuković (@sterluu) reported

    @Namecheap @LefterisJP Unfortunately, both we and the other projects have reached out in multiple instances and received no substantial information nor assurance that anyone is looking into the issue.

  • Ravenzbb SeC_xO_01 (@Ravenzbb) reported

    @Namecheap @AnkitCuriosity @Bugcrowd I reported it earlier it's been a month and no updates yet, this thing really sucks and soon I'm gonna publicly disclose the bug.

  • sysmannet Alex Petrov (@sysmannet) reported

    @avelykyy @Namecheap Namecheap also #1 by amount of scam projects/website/fraudulent domains violating tm/cp/cloning. and also worst reaction on security/abuse tickets processing team.

  • ozichukwukamma ọgọamaka (@ozichukwukamma) reported

    @TrueCrypto28 I'm gonna make it.. Right now I need help trying to setup an affiliate marketing website.. Pls anyone, I need help buying domain and hosting plan from @Namecheap

  • Bluesplinter Steve (@Bluesplinter) reported

    @ChrisBlec @Namecheap This is a bigger issue than many folks understand. No whitelist or bookmark or any other client-side “best practice” will protect from this kind of hack.
