Tell HN: Security Incident at Dynadot

5 pointsnotyourday1 comment

It seems there is some sort of a security incident at Dynadot. We have received an email asking us to change our passwords. The email contains a broken link so it was definitely slapped together rapidly without any testing.

Attempt to login with an old password triggers a password reset flow. The website and the API for dynadot are down.

No official information is available.

Seconded this. I recieved one as well. Speaking with customer support I got the following:

"Our team detected irregular logs relating to a small number of accounts, and whilst they are investigating the issue we have requested that everyone update their password to ensure account security. We do not have exact details on the irregularirites at this time I'm afriad!"

Further messages from them have told me that they will be updating everyone once they finish investigating the issue.

Concerning, but I do appreciate their proactive approach at least.
