@north_star_says I have over a 100 domains on namecheap and have been using them for years. Their dashboard is slow and not well designed from a UX standpoint. I hope they do a redesign for both a design and tech

@Namecheap there are a bunch of phishing scam domains - daily new created - on Namecheap I sent you in a DM and I would like to have a fast contact possibility to get them down fast when seen, DM best? The E-Mail support is super slow

(@nnoouuvv) reported
@NamecheapCEO ex: social engineering - call the user, say "I'm from namecheap, can I get your support PIN to verify it's you?" TOTP can be phished... (but has a much lower validity window than 24h...) but U2F can't. I went over this above. That's why this downgrades security for those users.

That's something of a nameCHEAP shot (ba dum chhhh), because most execs of non-security companies don't deal with security and should have dedicated personnel to deal with it. But now we're back around to "stop dicking around on Twitter and get someone on this **** ASAP"

@_nyancrimew @Namecheap You can update the profile with the data you control. Also, I haven't gotten 1 email from Namecheap showing that I changed my email, password, or phone number for the support profile. It did take a couple tries to get the data to stick.

(@INIT_3) reported
@_nyancrimew @Namecheap Some legit funky things are going on with their support system. Parts of the system sync but not others. If you reset the password on the support doesn't change for main. Changing the Main password will trigger the captcha popups @ support, but passwords will go out of sync.

the way bigger issue than this vuln however is just the way the namecheap ceo personally has been reacting to this issue by resorting to lies, namecalling, slander and putting his entire customer base up for play

@Namecheap Well that is something that IS being fixed, and I understand that stuff takes time. (Sucks it's taken this long to be prioritized.) But the other part of accepting crypto allowing for anonymous funding of domains is the greater problem, and I doubt that will change.

@BowTiedSystems Correct. The other issue I had with using the private mail, was trying to set it up with mail warmer up. So i end up with new mail account. So the set up like this rn: -Namecheap domain -Gsuite mail - Still had to manually setup DNS records in Namecheap for domain (SPF,DKIM)

@TinkerSec Whelp, I ****** around and found out. You can successfully lock out your NameCheap support account. On chat support right now, trying to figure out what I did to 100% lock out my support account.

@malwrhunterteam Bad take for sure. The stupid stuff their CEO has said in the last day or two aside, Namecheap has been responsive in nuking malicious/phishing domains by simply just @'ing them in a tweet w/ evidence shared from my experience.

@fspls tbh namecheap has been on my **** list ever since they started selling literally fake web3 domains so this has just cemented my position really. Migrated my domains to porkbun, though really I'll go wherever the renew is cheapest that isn't a garbage registrar lol

@Namecheap please I just noticed that my Laravel app uploaded on your hosting runs so slow; it that a #cause for #alarm ? Please help me with what's happening.

If he apologised, if he'd actually conceded that his behaviour was a problem, if he'd demonstrated any willingness at all to change his organisation's security, I might have some hope his company would improve, but as things stand, I strongly recommend you do not use Namecheap.

INIT_6 🐯 The Cryptozoologist 🐯
(@INIT_3) reported
@_nyancrimew @Namecheap Making multiple changes in the support profile, you can lock out phone numbers and emails that the support system will say can't be used because it's in use for another account *ouch* That's not good. Is it disclosing customer details? would need others to help verify.

@ummjackson @Namecheap Just FYI, this issue was closed within a few minutes after it was reported and posed no security risk to you.

namecheap have finally acknowledged a security problem. i can't help but think it would have been easier on them if they hadn't spent 2 days pissing off the entire internet, but what do i know? drama very much *not* over, plenty of reports to be made to data protection orgs.

@_nyancrimew As a long time Namecheap customer with several hundred domains, and a fan of your work (lol intc), I'm actually pretty excited to see @NamecheapCEO take SE threats seriously and putting his money where his mouth is. Would love to see an SE in scope for more public bug bounties.

@NamecheapCEO @_nyancrimew Yesterday you were A-OK with my (and every other customer's) namecheap domains getting hacked. Tell you what, how about you hire actual security professionals to set up a formal bug bounty program, assuming any will want to work with you after this bullshit stunt.

@louispilfold seriously the guy has been such an unpleasant **** that even if there was nothing at all to the original report (and there is something to the original report), i could never ever trust namecheap to take my reports seriously.

at a minimum, i'm fairly sure GDPR says you're supposed to safeguard and secure your customers' data and prevent unauthorised access to it. so literally everyone european customer of namecheap has grounds for breach of contract at a minimum.

@BowTiedSystems The Gmail option is setup on the domain that is being used for reach(instead of private mail option), but service provided is namecheap. I manage to setup 8/10 score based on your Step 2. missing out BIMI, but will set it up.

@GarWarner @Namecheap How can people be so gullible? I cannot only blame the scammers (though they are doubtless guilty) when adults are willing to be sold any level of crap with flashy graphics.

@NamecheapCEO @_nyancrimew @Namecheap FYI, I tested it the first time they mentioned it — it’s true. Just change it so you can’t edit account information from the support portal, my guy.

@jesstheunstill Crap. That combined with the 'support panel doesn't support 2FA yet, but finally under development' makes me wanna move away from namecheap. Where to move to, hrm. Another project I haven't the brain cycles for.
