- adricnet 12y agoWhile cheerfully acknowledging there is controversy, I dispute your immediate dismissal of these reports. For other readers, then: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/08/qa-on-the-reported-theft-of-1-2b-email-accounts/ http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/08/qa-on-the-reported-theft-... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/08/over_a_billion_.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/08/over_a_billio... As to why it may be on-topic here: the activity reported by NameCheap in the OP lines up pretty well with the reports of a large collection of compromised accounts in the hands of a criminal group.
- jdong 12y agoThe activity reported by namecheap hardly lines up with these reports, mass amounts of user/password combinations leaking is hardly anything unique.
