Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NamecheapCEO Richard Kirkendall (@NamecheapCEO) reported

    @troyhunt @Namecheap To be clear, the issue was within 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.

  • 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.

  • officialss34 Swedenstyle34 (@officialss34) reported

    @Namecheap I almost fall for the phishing attempt from someone whom impersonated @MetaMask, but then i realized that they never sends any emails at all, and then i saw that it was sent my your email.

    MetaMask does not collect KYC info and will never email you about your account! Do not enter your Secret Recovery Phrase on a website EVER. If you got an email today from MetaMask or Namecheap or anyone else like this, ignore it

    @CryptoEconomyEN Ugh, phishing scams are the WORST 😭💔 Is anyone taking action to make sure this stops happening?? #crypto #Namecheap #MetaMask

    PeckShield monitoring showed that the email service of the domain registration service Namecheap was compromised and used to send phishing emails posing as Metamask and DHL.

    @Namecheap @Namecheap Damn you, I was stolen with an amount of 3106 dollars, and the reason is you. I will transfer all my domains to a company that respects its customers and does not steal them.

  • unknownfacttec Rajatendra (@unknownfacttec) reported

    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?

  • 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…

    @NamecheapCEO @bytehx343 @Namecheap I got the same email too....and your follow-up email clarifying the issue. I guess there is nothing to worry about.

  • MohAmmar96 Mo A (@MohAmmar96) reported

    @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

    @TonyNames @Namecheap Unfortunately, due to a system glitch, in rare cases, domains appear on the auction again. But it's impossible to purchase them of course. The issue is being fixed right now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that you've faced.
