anybody else getting this when you try epik...Show attachment 199407

I am not having this issue, I am able to access the Epik homepage without any problems.

I have no idea if it will as worse as you claimed.

/me too. But, prevention is better than cure. Epik still has, and, therefore, had account verification link inside - with an opportunity to upload ids etc. in all relevant times.

No problem here in Australia, site is loading, havn't logged it, no need to at this point.

Cheers

It seems like a cult with always prayers and god in every post/email

 

[DN Universal]

Epik sent me an email about an alleged security incident they are investigating...

Probably would have been better without the last paragraph - God, prayer, evil, enemies. That is not usually the type of wording you see about a hack.

All people care about is what happened.

Without the last paragraph I'd be suspicious that this statement really comes from Epik...But now you can be sure it's Rob Monster.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Today a few times higher activity among domainers than yesterday - and no troubles, no slow response.
Definitely all issues yesterday are linked with mentioned attack. I have no doubts.

I am out of there...

sucks.. still got a bunch of domains there.. been too busy to move them.. now i suffer like the other lazy people.. we're punished by Rob's god... you know gods never help the little people

 

[DN Universal]

From reading Epik's email their approach is more a "precautionary measure" view and seems to be less serious than what others are describing as a data breach..

 

[cabotower]

i no longer have any names at epik. i would like to close my account but am having a hell of a time finding out how to do it. there is nothing on the site that simply says close/delete account. anyone know how to?

 

[Liberty Wolf]

What incredible timing, I was just about to move my landers to Epik and try them out.

On a side note, there appears to be a torrent file going around with all the information that was obtained in the breach.

For Epik - do not use Wordpress and a theme from themeforest, choose something more secure.

btw.

RU hosting provider, was hacked by hacktivists on September 12
The entire IT infrastructure of MskHost was hacked, the user servers and data were accessed, and most of the servers were permanently deleted.

[Jurgen Wolf]

there is nothing on the site that simply says close/delete account.

Imagine: this button exists during such leak (when somebody knows your credentials) and no 2FA.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

WordPress and security are incompatible words.

 

[cabotower]

You can edit your account and change all the information to my wife/your wife or someone who you really LOVE.

i have no names there and have not done business with them since they parted ways with paypal. very odd that there is no way i could find to simply delete an account.

was it necessary to attack God in your post ??? Some people here have no respect for others and must gaslight looking for a reaction .. you are one of “Them”
