> 2020: UK National Cyber Security Centre: Figure 1 shows that NameCheap became the most popular host of UK government-themed phishing during 2020. By December 2020 we found that it hosted in excess of 60% of phishing in this category. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/05/why-do-scammers-love-namecheap/ https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/05/why-do-scammers-love-namech... https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/files/Active-Cyber-Defence-ACD-The-Fourth-Year.pdf https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/files/Active-Cyber-Defence-ACD-The-F... > 2017: As of today around 38% of the domains reported to us since we began recording on 8/23/17 are sponsored by NameCheap INC. These domains are allowed to continue to scam consumers long after they are reported. An example of this is “ecojetexpress.us” which has been reported repeatedly by both petscams.com and victims who have lost money. When victims of this scam filed an abuse report NameCheap did not “take reasonable and prompt steps to investigate”. Instead they forwarded the abuse report with the victims information to the criminal. 5 months later, ecojetexpress.us was still online scamming new victims. https://petscams.com/news/namecheap-hurting-internet/ https://petscams.com/news/namecheap-hurting-internet/ > Facebook sues Namecheap to unmask hackers who registered malicious domains. The social networking giant claims that Namecheap has refused to cooperate in an investigation into a series of malicious domains that have been registered through its service and which impersonated the Facebook brand. > Some of the sample domains included the likes of instagrambusinesshelp.com, facebo0k-login.com, and whatsappdownload.site. > Dubois said lookalike domains like these -- which abuse the Facebook brand -- are often used for phishing, fraud, and scams. https://www.zdnet.com/article/facebook-sues-namecheap-to-unmask-hackers-who-registered-malicious-domains/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/facebook-sues-namecheap-to-unm...
