    @Namecheap @Outcarb @conspirator0 For clarification, you're stating the scam website is legitimate because the scammer behind the website told you it was legitimate? Ignoring the scheme to use an artificial network of 600 social media accts, impersonating Elon Musk to encourage the purchase of fake watches?

    @AlesandroOrtizR @Namecheap They didn't explicitly say that, but said it was an "unforseeable glitch", which I read as much. Turns out all of our other DNSSEC-enabled namecheap domains are also down, so I'm back in the support chat right now...

    @Namecheap, reply to multiples tickets submitted is always a good thing to keep a customer satisfied. Buy a namedomain with @Namecheap was one of the worst experience for me. No customer support. What can I do to be heard ? Thanks.

    @Namecheap @EJGibney @Outcarb How did your "customer" confirm that an obvious scam was "legitimate"? That seems like a contradiction in terms, and you should probably review your processes to prevent your service from being exploited like this in the future.

    @Namecheap registered domain is a major scam site boonjiproject(.)live also using your hosting. Needs to be taken down.

    @Namecheap I can't access my site. And I need to speak to support without going through my backed. Is there a way to talk to support directly?

    @KenoFischer @Namecheap Ah, so NC confirmed issue was on their end? I thought there was chance issue was due to normal cycle + Google DNS caching incorrect data, since that was only resolver giving me issues. Good to know it was at NC's end.

  • FlappyBerk
    Christian (@FlappyBerk) reported

    @UK_Daniel_Card @GazTheJourno If that's true that makes a pleasant change from the CEO of NameCheap being made aware of blatant phishing sites, and responding by saying they don't care if it's not logged by an existing customer in a specific way, and if they don't like that they can complain to ICANN instead.

  • AlesandroOrtizR
    Alesandro Ortiz ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ (@AlesandroOrtizR) reported

    @KenoFischer @Namecheap Good luck, hope you can resolve soon. I was able to fix mine by toggling DNSSEC off for a few mins, then turning it back on. I only had one domain with NC DNS + DNSSEC enabled. All my other domains have DNS with other providers or didn't have DNSSEC enabled (unused domains).

    @Namecheap Made a $2500 purchase and you lock our account. Seriously? You couldn't just send an email for whatever verification you need us to do? โ€‹ "Being careful" is one thing. Locking out a premium customer out of their account is another. Please fix it.

    @KenoFischer @Namecheap If it's helpful in your chat as proof of more than one customer affected, my affected domain was aogarantiza[.]com from 8 PM ET sharp until around 10 PM when I finished remediation steps myself.

    @namecheap "No Such User Here" This message is received when receiving / sending emails, second domain in which it happens. After 50 mins support staff says "I have no problem". What's going on?

    Is @Namecheap down?

  • KenoFischer
    Keno Fischer (@KenoFischer) reported

    @Namecheap support says a "glitch" caused incorrect RRSIG records for DNSSEC enabled domains, fixed by re-generating the records on their end. I requested a full post-mortem, since this is a pretty significant outage, but was told there wouldn't be one.

  • AlesandroOrtizR
    Alesandro Ortiz ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ (@AlesandroOrtizR) reported

    @KenoFischer @Namecheap FWIW, I've used NC for over a decade, and no issues on pure domain registry side. But as with any registrar, I avoid other services like DNS and email. So you can keep NC as registrar but use diff provider for DNS. I personally use either AWS, Linode, or Netlify.

  • DotWeekly
    Jamiฮž Zoch (@DotWeekly) reported

    Thought: If NameCheap partnered with Newfold Digital (Web/NSI, Register, BuyDomains, SnapNames/NameJet, HostGator, BlueHost etc) and maybe ties in Tucows/eNom or another large registrar, a new powerhouse network (DLS) could be created & expired domain auction service. #shakeitup

    @Namecheap Hi, are your DNS servers having issues on/around 8 PM ET (~an hour ago)? Having some DNS resolution issues on one of my domains, but only on some resolvers it seems.

    @namecheap One of my domains has suddenly lost its MX DNS settings. Nothing has changed on my side - still in my dashboard and MX settings there but pulling them up leads to no response. Help!
