Domain registrar, Dynadot, has been enforcing account password changes.
Users of the service are unable to log in using their current password and are being asked to reset the account’s credentials instead.
Additionally, some—but not all—account holders at Dynadot have received an email notifying them of “suspicious activity:”
During one of our routine security checks, our system noticed irregular activity. To ensure account security and mitigate any potential issues, we request you change your password.
To change the password for [redacted], please click the link below:
Change my password
If you are concerned or would like to add additional security measures, we recommend adding a second layer.
Any specific account that we notice any irregularities in will be contacted by our management team.
Best Regards,
Dynadot Support Team
Speculation about the underlying issues leading to the forced password change of accounts is brewing; some believe it’s related to a security breach that Dynadot has not yet disclosed.
