domains Namecheap refines strategy to fight malicious domains

[Lox]

Domain registrar Namecheap, Inc. is being commended for its improved reporting and remediation strategy for malicious domains, though it is unclear what spurred the changes for the company.

Security researchers took to Twitter recently, citing a significant improvement in response time by Namecheap to take down URLs used for phishing attacks, business email compromise and other threats. For example, security researchers at MalwareHunterTeam, which runs the free malware service ID Ransomware, discovered a domain spoofing the National Health Service under the guise of signing up for a digital coronavirus passport. This time, Namecheap took down the phony site within an hour.

"In 2020 alone, Namecheap received 1.27 million abuse reports, representing an 85% increase in support tickets over the prior year," Kirkendall wrote in the blog.

They may be spoofing, the end email is
[email protected] But it ends in my inbox. Happens alot. I will admit that site looks legit but i will forward the spam to someone if the want to look at headers.
This subject, namecheap and spam was discussed on a blog and in comments by a few people. I deleted spam this morning, 5 others from outlook so far, this one is from url stated. Maybe they are legit and someone is spamming and somehow making it appear from them. That would suck
Maybe namecheap registered names are easier to spoof, someone stirred pot there

NC need a little bit more time to sort out a way to do it. Without using "outside" intelligence / cybersec data etc, that's not easy task.
