NameDrive Breached, Less Than 1% of Accounts Affected

Posted on February 4, 2009 by Dissent

E-mail addresses and passwords for a limited number of NameDrive customers were obtained and posted in a hacker forum this month. The security breach just came to light today. NameDrive has responded by instituting new security measures including password resets:

We were alerted of a possible security breach affecting less than 1% of our accounts, although we have no indication that any unauthorized access was gained, we have reacted forcefully to ensure absolute security for your account.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]

This is the second security breach to hit the domain community over the past month. Last month limited information from 1,000 accounts at GoDaddy was compromised.

Comment: I don’t remember seeing mention of the GoDaddy incident before.
