My Accounts have been hacked. Do not respond until I clearly confirm. My accounts are still hacked

Can you share what domains are involve so other domain investors are aware on this issue?

Scripts.com seems to be one of them.

Something good has come out of this awful hacking.
I've enabled two factor authentication on my email account now.

I recently did it at godaddy as well, but this was a wake up call for me.

 

[TheWatcher]

Make it as a habit to use two-factor authentication if available.

Thank you all for your support.

With the impeccable help of the Flippa Team, GoDaddy Team, Perception Team and the amazing amount of selfless hours that were put in by everyone, including NP's very own @Paul Buonopane, we have gained control of 100% of our domain names and almost all of our other social media accounts.

I can't say how grateful I am for the help we've received during this matter, it could not have been done without everyone who helped.

At this moment we still do not have access to our Twitter account, but we are working to regain that access immediately.

What I can say is that it's nobodies fault but the hackers. The best thing you can do is enable 2-factor across the board, utilize the most advanced passwords you can, and never, ever click on any links without first confirming their legitimacy. Hackers are using more advanced approaches daily, so keep your browsers safe, downloads minimal and do whatever you have to, to ensure you have taken every possible precaution to protecting your information and assets.

I am glad to hear that you have control of most things again. I put 2 factor on most things now which is a bit of work up front but it is well worth it. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.

Thank you Joe, the team at GoDaddy was part of the overall algorithm that helped us get this resolved!

I'm happy for you Ali. What a nightmare!
Do you have control of your email adress? We can rely on emails comming from your usual adress?

Thank you.

As of 34 minutes ago, I have control of all my email addresses from Perception.com and the like.

However, the hacker is using [email protected] - all emails from this account are not from me.

 

[LucidDomains]

I had enabled 2FA at all my registrars I have domains with. I then realised after seeing what happened to you that my email account was the weakest link with just a password. I have now just added 2FA to my email account too. Thank you.

Once everything is over you should try LastPass.
I've been using it for a year and it changed my security habits for better.

All my passwords are 20 characters including symbols, upper case, lower case and numbers and I don't even have to remember them.

The good about LastPass is that it's multiplatform and it allows you an illimited number of devices - I think it's the only that provides that.

On top of that I have the Google Authenticator and Authy for 2 level security.

Email is definitely the weakest link. That is point of access for all your information and should definitely be dramatically safeguarded!

Thanks! I am using a different method, however, same concept. On top of numerous other security measures that are now in place as well

It is not compromised. Still cleaning up after the hackers mess. He changed the listing descriptions. But the post auction offer is real.
