I've just received a weird e-mail from NameCheap (attached below). It was sent from [email protected] (IP 149.72.141.59 - passed SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to the mail address I'm using with NameCheap, using my name&surname, and the links in the mail are under links.namecheap.com. If it's not a breach I don't know what it is...

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Got that email, too.

It seems to be legitimately from a Namecheap email address. If that's the case, they've been hacked (probably).

I hope no one clicks on anything in these emails.

For both of you, do you have privacy on for your Namecheap domains?

Yes, it's from the authorised IP (I added that info above). I tried the link in a separate browser but it didn't open, so maybe they already blocked it. Or maybe so many people are clicking that the server got overwhelmed.

Well, that is odd.

These seem like standard phishing emails, but the concerning part is obviously were they are coming from.

Are you sure they are coming from NameCheap?
Is that what it shows in the email header?

I don't have any domains at namecheap and I haven't for over a year.
Now that's scary. Let's see if the tech-savvy folks here can figure out who is behind these disturbing emails.

167.89.64.95 is o6.mailservice.namecheap.com.
149.72.141.59 is o21.mailservice.namecheap.com.

That Track and Pay button in the email is intended to lead those who click on it at mysafebridge.info -- a domain registered today at NameSilo (I haven't visited the domain and no one should).

But yeah, these emails definitely come from a Namecheap address. So it's either:

1) a hack
2) some employee-gone-bad who will regret all this

I guess so yes, that their mail services trust their customers a little too much. Complete headers may provide additional hints.

And did they also allow their customers to access their databases, complete with customer e-mails and names?

I got both of those emails too. The DHL one went straight to spam, but the Metamask one hit my inbox.

At first, I thought it was just more spam, but the email sender got me a bit confused. It seems concerning, to be honest.

I wonder if the _r token in the unsubscribe link is personalised - if yes, then it's the same that I have in all their previous (legitimate) mails.
