The customers of the domain hosting company Namecheap are being targeted with phishing emails.
The company claims that its system and user data have not been breached.
- The phishing emails started around 4:30 p.m. ET on Sunday and came from SendGrid. The latter is an upstream provider for the company.
- One of the emails falsely led users to believe that their MetaMask accounts had to be verified, asking them to put in their login credentials.
- Namecheap claims that the reason that these phishing emails were sent is that its upstream provider was breached and not Namecheap itself.
- The company has advised its users not to click on the links that they were sent and to report the emails.
- It insists that no personal information that belongs to any user was stolen by hackers in this breach.
- Namecheap has over 10 million users and nearly 80 million domains under management.
- The company was founded in 2000 and is based in Phoenix.
