I also found it interesting how vague they were in "implementing additional security measures". I would hope that they've identified and fixed the core security issue that HTP exploited, and that these extra measures aren't simply asking their customers to change their passwords.

They also only mention personal information theft, while there was also supposedly a risk of configuration changes to domains hosted there.... were they able to track any malicious changes? Or are they confident none happened? Or did they have no idea about the breach until HTP publicized it? More information would certainly help my confidence with them as a registrar.

One of the reasons we liked name.com was their multi-factor support and email on action support, but it's all an illusion if hackers can get in at this level and go undetected until they helpfully post it publicly!
Yeah, one of the main reasons I use Name.com is MFA.

I'm not happy that my domain registrar was hacked by a group that wasn't even targeting the company; it was simply the weakest link. Not good.
