Snapnames Security Update...

[Dave_Z]

Just got this from one of snapnames' people who posts in another domain
forum. Here's a quote:

Over the past few days, SnapNames has become aware that an unknown party has been using the "Request Lost Password" function to generate an automatic e-mail containing the login info for a certain number of accounts. These e-mails are sent only to the contact addresses listed in the SnapNames account. However, in an undetermined fashion, this party has been able to access these e-mails on at least a few occasions, thereby enabling unauthorized access to a customer's SnapNames account. This person may have used data from that account (which include the last four digits of the customer's credit card) to contact other companies and request, or even secure, other private data.

To address this, SnapNames has made changes regarding the provision of data in user accounts, and the manner in which our password retrieval system operates. These changes should take care of the problem.

If any SnapNames customer receives our "Forgot Password" e-mail without requesting it, please be very careful about e-mail accounts and other possible vulnerabilities. If you have received such an e-mail, please contact our support department at [email protected] or (800) 385-4075, and we will change your user name and password.

Be vigilant, snapnames users.
