On the website it says -

We would like to clarify that some of our users have received an email from a spammer stating that dotDB is shutting down. This is absolutely not true. Please just ignore the fake announcement and Reset your password if you haven't done so after January 28.

I guess I was late to the party.

Security should be the first priority for any online services before they offer product / professional services.

No, dotDB.com isn't closing down but email database was apparently leaked - DomainGang

@Acroplex

You can think whatever you want but I know what has happened behind the scenes but can not share it.
Once again, feel free to assume what you would like to

As per DomainGang:
"
Update from dotDB: A former employee sent an unauthorized message to the dotDB user database, according to information we just received from the company. The incident is not related to a data leakage or a security issue; all users’ account information and passwords are well stored and encrypted.

"

I wonder if said Former Employee is looking to start their own service, or maybe they're just disgruntled for some unknown reason?...

I believe this feature was already under the paid plans. I don't see any changes to that.
