Outcarb's domain server, Namecheap, briefly took the website down in August of 2021 after an investigation but the website was allowed to resume its scam in October after they reached out to Namecheap to ***ure the domain server they were not a scam. https://t.co/bji3uq2eRz

Kindly check that this is not a unique issue.

Ironically, while Namecheap took a lot of heat for being the target of DNS hijacking this week, they remain out front as the most proactive registrar aiming to address the underlying problem by actively investing in decentralized DNS solutions.

@JayWuzer @UUuLLC @TheWalllstreet @Namecheap @NamebaseHQ @kyokan_io You are down to make the bet? Great. We send 50k HNS each to third party.
I propose @Steven_McKie to be the escrow holder if he is open to it.
In two years we see who wins and escrow holder sends 100k HNS to winner.

Spicy. It's sort of nuts that so much of crypto uses namecheap. I host low risk stuff there, but this exact issue is why you set NS there with a long expiration and then use something... not cheap... to manage domains.

Impressive how @NamecheapCEO handled the DNS issues on dapps recently. All DNS providers inherent the problems of DNS and the way @Namecheap is resolving is top tier service.
Excited about the future of @hns and @NamebaseHQ.

.@Namecheap, the screenshot is from your site. The problem is, you are infringing on an unrelated party's domain name. https://t.co/ikYX4A8oRQ is a real domain. Someone owns it. You shouldn't be using that name as an example address.
I suggest you use https://t.co/bTZpHMqGu1! https://t.co/NmcFh4Gedu

@NamecheapCEO @itspublu @bneiluj @Alexintosh As a total aside, just wanna say it's cool to see you engage like this.
Imo the biggest problem here is also how long it took to detect this and why the reaction came only after a twitter thread, while the victims tried to contact you a day ago.

@XpanderCrew @Namecheap The problem is custodial services.
Before Namecheap, it was GoDaddy, before them, other registrars.
And the same is true for custodial financial services. See the recent problems across BlockFi, Celsius, etc.

It's 1am into Saturday here and I have to rack my brain to see which domains I still have on Namecheap.
I know three for sure, and they are all for crypto projects I was involved with. Gotta have to call people with bad news on a Saturday morning.

@NamecheapCEO @LefterisJP @Alexintosh @DeFiSaver @ConvexFinance @ribbonfinance and yeah - maybe it’s not the best to link additional services during these public escalations 😉
my feeling is that despite the services the customer could have payed the issue rely on smth else

@NamecheapCEO @LefterisJP @Alexintosh @DeFiSaver @ConvexFinance @ribbonfinance imo pretty important to have available a security contact on the website to escalate promptly in case of issues like this and to evaluate not locking down accounts
substitute to customer (and not acting on behalf) lead to bad experience - and potentially leaving customers

@NamecheapCEO That's ok, we are using a different registrar anyway. Worrying about other DeFi projects.
Could be that it's really DNS issue: intermediaries are unnecessary. We need all to do better with ENS

@NamecheapCEO @QUAEKR @gakonst @LefterisJP @Alexintosh Unless most employees can access the DB directly (bigger problem), how about implementing these to make changes?
a) asking for 2FA & email confirmation
b) for crypto-related biz (most likely target), ask that they sign with their private key
Decent improvement for min effort.

@hopetomakeit @TheWalllstreet @NamecheapCEO @BrantlyMillegan He had the opportunity and doubled-down on his statements/beliefs. Second chances, benefits of the doubt, &c. No matter how you slice it, he still believes everything he’s stated.
