Sav.com Security Issues - Warning

[frostify]

Sav still relies on SMS only 2-factor authentication which is nowhere near as secure as using a real authenticator app such as 'Google Authenticator'm, Authy, Twilio, etc. Recently this weekend I was the victim of a sim-card attack where a remote hacker hijacked access to my phone number with Verizon.

I have my Sav username/password but now the 2-factor codes are not sending, I go to their contact page to submit a help desk ticket and behold, you cannot submit a help desk ticket or reach a real human being for help unless you are logged in, which you obviously can't do without access to your account. This is a huge flaw with obvious downsides for someone in my situation.

PayPal has also banned payments at Sav and they experience frequent service issues. DNS changes and nameserver changes experience frequent issues or sometimes just straight up don't change at all. I have given up on websites I was going to make using domains at Sav due to how frustrating and glitchy the back end is, despite their low registration and renewal prices.

Someone from Sav.com, please get back to me. My email is [email protected] which is also my account username. @Sav.com @sav

Personally I would remove my email from opening post, and tag @Nick R
Namecheap i have 10 backup codes stored as safe as epik stores personal info, and can use one of those in case authy goes dowń

@Nick R please help, I'm still locked out of my Sav account due to 2FA codes not sending, not first time this has happened.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

send him a pm, that way he probably gets email notification of direct message

Hello All. We are aware that we need to build a process for those to regain access to accounts that have been locked out. We are actively working on this and expanding our 2FA options. We will be looking for beta testers to try out a new sign-in/2fa process in the next few weeks. Please DM me is anyone is interested.

In the meantime, I did DM the OP. If this happens to anyone else, just make a new Sav account using a different email address and submit a ticket explaining the problem. Our support team can verify your identity and help you regain access to the account.

My nameservers for all domains have been changed to ns1.all-harmless.domains and ns2.all-harmless.domains, and I am unable to change the DNS again. What could be the issue?

Also, a friend of mine is facing the same problem with over 600 domains. What's going on with sav.com?

no dns changes here

The same happened to me just now.

Got the email, for abuse, I don't even use the domains for much most are listed on Atom, and I am seeing about 3 domain names that are not even mine.

Their decision is FINAL and only let "law enforcement" call.

The heck, this is insane.

They better solve this issue real quick @Sav.com

Sav.com has suspended my 93 domains and said this is the final decision, even though not a single domain has been reported for abuse. One domain was registered just a few hours ago through auto action, and they put it on the abuse list too. These people are strange.

This won't end well, send me a pm so we can work on this together, contacted my lawyer already.

Hello All. We just wanted to jump in and comment on this thread real quick. Sav does not tolerate domain abuse and takes abuse reports very seriously. We recently disabled a number of customer account’s and their domains after receiving verifiable evidence of one or more domains engaged per our Domain Name Registration Agreement. A few accounts were re-enabled after the customer agreed to make changes but this was not the majority. While we will be improving the notifications sent out to customers with domains engaged in abuse we will take action on any accounts and domains involved in abuse to do our part to help continue to make the Internet a safer place each and every day.
