@RobGasior It's not an ideal solution by any means, but I do wonder when it'll become an issue ... The other thing I was considering (on a wider network) is a custom resolver that checks when a domain was registered. On the first query to a domain, if it's namecheap and < 3 days, block.

@eligarlo @eishaid7 @Namecheap Except when their DNS service is MIA.

@imdsm @Namecheap To be fair, SMS is clear text, and there's loads of points in a network it can be intercepted so I'd have no issue with automated filtering of suspicious URLs as long as (a) you could opt out and (b) it wasn't used for any other purpose.

@Namecheap @tabithagold Or, act on the information you're given... it's not difficult. You choose not to, which some may say makes you complicit in facilitating fraud. Like it or not *YOU* personally - not just your employer - are part of the problem, you cause innocent victims to lose thousands.

@nullcookies @phat_hobbit @Namecheap Yeah, but, have you considered that they already don’t give a **** about 85% of reports? How are they supposed to handle that many reports to not give a **** about??

@androolloyd @BrantlyMillegan @ensdomains I've now been able to check Namecheap and they do support DNSSEC. Unfortunately, I don't have any .art names at NC to completely test. If using GCloud DNS, click "registrar settings" in Zone Details, copy DS values to NC. Done.

@OzoyaSilas @Namecheap I have domains with namecheap, whogohost and Godaddy. Namecheap and whogohost works fine and their Customer care service is on point but you see this Godaddy🙄, It is an annual battle brawl with them, i am tired.

It literally took me many google searches, over half a day, to figure how to run a python app on @namecheap. And that is including their FTP service not working probably (still can only use my admin account to ftp)

@Namecheap Hey, I tried your support but it asks login information but my client only knows the username and the domain. We have a few emails that might be associated but it blocks the account for 24h after error. It's a domain for a business we can prove ownership, can you help?

@TheRegister Not surprising at all. The vast majority of phishing attempts I come across are hosted via @Namecheap, and they’ve never taken action when I’ve reported the domains. I transferred all my domains out a few years ago because of **** like this.

@SeanWrightSec I've heard quite a bit about Namecheap, normally from fed-up researchers who've found yet another scam routed through their infrastructure that persists despite reporting it. Seems there's a problem here.

@Namecheap @LGG1989 Done, but I think there needs to be systematic action to stop these domains being created by bad actors instead of one-off deletions

@imdsm @Namecheap Indeed, carriers checking for large numbers of identical messages would be a start. There's the issue of inspecting content though and balancing it with privacy.

@mitchsurp @Namecheap Hi Mitch! We found a deliberate spam attack and blocked it to ensure such emails don't reach your mailbox anymore. I hope this will improve your experience with our service. If you face anything like that in the future, please contact our support and we'll resolve it right away.

@NamecheapCEO @rsmck @Namecheap Come on. Cheap domains and a focus on registering as many as possible leads to abuse. I'm the guy who sued ICANN and Network solutions over the grace period & pre-registering domains that have been searched for. Been in the domain business since 1995. There is more you can do.

@Namecheap while I understand this for a new purchase why would this apply to a transfer? literally Namecheap is the only domain registrar I have ever run into this issue with.

(@RobGasior) reported
@rsmck @Namecheap Yeah, its a management thing though, someone made a decision to turn a blind eye to the bad actor, maybe if thier board met someone who lost all thier life savings to a scam hosted on a @Namecheap domain things might change,
