Namecheap Commentary

We set out to destroy scams, but maybe the real scam was the friends we made along the way. Hopefully retired. Parody account, not a phish.

APT Namecheap expresses deepest respect, admiration, and worry for the staff of Real Namecheap especially those remaining in Ukraine. Namecheap embodies the Ukranian spirit of courage in defiance of tyrants. Слава Україні!

Namecheap have been the #1 "zeroes to heroes" success story in 2021.

[MalwareHunterTeam @malwrhunterteam]

Now that the year is ending, time to say a very big thank you to @Namecheap for their hard and great work this year to became the example hosting/registrar company of "how takedowns should be done".
👏👏👏
Great and still sometimes hard to believable change.
Keep going like this.

APT Microsoft?

[Tommy M (TheAnalyst) @ffforward]

Guess who hasn't acted on abuse reports at all today? @Microsoft @onedrive. Guess who is using @onedrive today? #Hancitor. Guess what happens if you run a #Hancitor maldoc? You Get #Cuba #Ransomare Yay!

Security researchers upon hearing the claim that the abuse haven known as Epik got hacked:

Security researchers upon realizing that the only thing that's materialized so far is a wallet address begging for donations and a broken torrent. #EpikFailChat

[Namecheap Commentary @APT_Namecheap]

Their security budget was as robust as their anti abuse budget. Epik honeypot. While we don't condone this hack, we would like to receive and use the resulting data to support investigations into Epik's countless criminal customers. DMs are open.

SCOOP: a group of "hackers on steroids" gained access to a large dataset belonging to Epik, the web host of the Texas GOP website, Texas Right to Life website, and anti-abortion snitch website.

Timing might be a coincidence but in recent days Namecheap has reversed their "actively refuse to work Twitter abuse complaints" policy.

At the same time, we were also asking ICANN people some very specific questions while researching for a post.

[Namecheap Commentary @APT_Namecheap]

Praise where praise is due. If Namecheap can keep this up it would certainly put them above many other registrars/hosters

How has the past week been?

[Namecheap Commentary @APT_Namecheap]

We are going to reset our expectations now. APT Namecheap is signing off, but will be watching.

Additionally if the CEO can avoid mansplaining security to some of the top people in our field, this account will go silent forever.

We will have no choice, because we steal all our comedy material from his feed and none of our jokes are original.
