  • MohAmmar96 Mo A (@MohAmmar96) reported

    suspected Plummer and entered the sent mail and confirmed that it was from Namecheap, so I was never afraid because it is normal and the company always sends us emails. That is why I entered the link and I was reassured. When I entered, the renewal page appeared for me.

  • NamecheapCEO Richard Kirkendall (@NamecheapCEO) reported

    @justanauditor1 @Namecheap To be clear, the issue was with a 3rd party provider that we use to send our newsletter. None of our own systems or customer accounts where breached. I sent a follow up email to all users that were affected. The domains linked in the original phishing emails were also disabled.

    Hello @Namecheap team, I am the regular customer of @Namecheap but after getting spam and phishing links by data breaches i would be shifting to some other hosting provider. You guys are handing such a big company but can’t even protect customer data how could we trust you now?

  • NamecheapCEO Richard Kirkendall (@NamecheapCEO) reported

    @JaxxArmstrong @thinkverse @Namecheap absolutely not but again it's common practice to use 3rd parties to send email, help desks, even an email system itself. We mostly build our own tools but that wasn't the case here unfortunately.

  • BeeHiveCyberSec BeeHive CyberSecurity (@BeeHiveCyberSec) reported

    @datacubecom We do as well. Accurate TLDR: Namecheap @ it’s core was not compromised. A 3rd party service suffered a security failure on their own end. Namecheap was notified by us, and we assume others, and promptly responded to us and issued publications addressing the issue and that they…

    @Namecheap You stopped it after I was stolen 3106 dollars. You are a fraudulent company that does not complete professionalism in any connection. You consider customers stupid. I want my right from you now.This is not my problem that you are contracting from a fraudulent third party company
