better check your namecheap accounts

today a 2 of my publishers had a similar problem with hacked namecheap accounts.

account owner and password have been changed and all domains transfered.
after that blackmail-mail was send to the original owners pay 5 bitcoins within 24 hours.

namecheap support seems to be not very helpful.
livesupport useless and dumb.

up to now I can not say how it was possible to hack this accounts as they are at 2-factor authentication. but i will post it here as soon I find out.

check your namecheap accounts and try to use every security they offer.

also make a cc forwarding for any emails you might get from namecheap to a second
mailaccount because none of my publisher found a mail from namecheap in their regular mailaccounts. so i assume that the hack starts with a hack on the email-account, than they confirm the change and delete the message after.
