Thought I would share this.

Has <@Braden Pollock> or any other epik board member / executive / investor made any comment on this instance yet?

<< fictitiously and jokingly tagging @VladimerPutin @MikeLindell @CarrotTop >>

I only have a few names with Epik since no PayPal option on payments. They have some good ideas and I like various things from their approach. Hope this breach would not affect dangerously user data. Quickly removed my CC details and changed password, but never know...

I wish they take care of these intruders and the below statement would be true

 

[tonyk2000]

You can transfer back to losing registrar anytime, within 60 days or is it 45?. Correct me if i am wrong.

To any registrar and anytime (com/net). Within 60 days - if and only if the current registrar so allows. In current situation, Epik should make a decision NOT to prevent such transfers imo... There is no winning love by force.

Whatever, #IStandWithEpik
#EpikPrevails. #EpikIsEpic.
#ForeverEpik #Epik

I firmly believe the legendary Epik team will handle the technical issues. Let's show our support to our #epik on social medias.

Please let me know if there's any other positive # about Epik which is already trending.

Forever Epik.

Fck epik and Mr monster very slow , lack of communication and so on get God to fix your problems or should that have already happened none believer here signing off. Jump on board Samer .

One question, cards that used in past but was not stored was leaked ?
Cards that were stored in past but deleted after some time were leaked ?
Does leak include only cards that was stored at the moment to the hack ?

Is there any information about when leak started ?
Is leak uploaded somewhere in public ?
I hope that everything will be ok.
Regards

Thank you to OP @Silentptnr and users like @Jurgen Wolf for staying on this, and actually getting this company to step up and write an email to their customers on a Saturday night.

It only took 30 pages and customers begging.

I received the securiry warning from Epik yesterday.
What I don't understand is that Epik only advises you to do, is to inform your creditcard company about this.

What Epik forgets to advise:
CHANGE YOUR EPIK PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY!

If hackers have access to your username and password, thats the first thing you need to change.
That Epik forgets to advise you to change your pasword is an epic fail in communication.

Legendary MARKETING team, yes.

Technical team looks straight doo-doo.

I believe 60days rules was imposed by ICANN, and if a registrar lets you move yours with that 60days they are breaking the rule

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Is leak uploaded somewhere in public ?

Yes, public torrent is available...
+ hackers have this entire and uncensored DB backup as of Feb'28/March'1.

Replace your CC and also don't store it in Epik account, change credentials and enable 2FA.
Hard minimum what you must do.

_may deny_ is not equal to _must deny_

When you are buying/selling domain names, you are running a business and should not fall in love with a person or company.
Staying with a damaged company will limit your ability to sell to a bigger market as many sellers will stay away from them.
Also remember this hacking is not a random hacking but targeted hacking due to political views from the company.
The company has records of supporting many political groups in the past so there is no warranty that this is the only incident.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket and make sure you make a right/smart business decision.
If you are still in love with the man then you should settle that private matter in a bedroom.
Going against the odds will not prove anything.

I will expand your (right) thoughts. The real target of those who did that is to eliminate the ''workers'' from the ''believers''. Anyone who stay, will be in the same political direction with the registrar. It simply means that they may potentially be their next target. I hope i am wrong.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

In other words, don't deal with toxic parties and be happy.

Important observation: a lot of customers, especially non-U.S. based ones, have no interest in U.S. politics at all. Not only this, they do not care about differencies between lets say East Coast and West Coast, Weinstein and Epstein, Republicans and Democrats...
Which is why an IT company, especially if it is providing services worldwide, shout simply stop mixing the business and politics...

I don't really want to say if i agree with mixing politics on business or not. However, i am sure that it has impact for a company which want to make a difference, positive or negative. Only the time will show if they can survive that.

You already know: where is Moniker.

You already know: where is Moniker.

.COM Moniker Online Services LLC (IANA Id 228) 294,256

Moniker had become a major player in the early domain name market but a lot of the buzz went out of the market when both large-scale Domain Tasting stopped and the SubPrime/property bubble burst. Think it is owned by a larger operator now. The highly successful hosting/registrar brands tend to target a wide market rather than concentrating on a niche.The reality is that many non-domainer registrants don't pay a lot of attention to which registrar they use. They tend to use the market leaders and continue to renew their domain names for the lifetime of their business. As the registrar reports show, transfers between registars are generally quite low compared to new and deleted registrations. At a web hoster level, the transfers are far more obvious.
