Unstoppabledomains.com Is Back and Stronger Than Ever – Your Data Is Secure We’re pleased to report that our website, unstoppabledomains.com, and communications from @unstoppabledomains.com are secure & fully operational. What Happened: Last week, our DNS provider, Squarespace, experienced a compromise during the migration from Google Domains, affecting many companies. This issue was isolated to DNS settings on Squarespace and did not impact Unstoppable Domains’ core services. Importantly, our backend services, smart contracts, and critical infrastructure were unaffected, ensuring your data remains completely safe. No user data leaks or account compromises occurred, reaffirming our commitment to your security. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e7kZ8p5A Safety Measures Implemented: When Squarespace experienced a security hack, we took immediate and comprehensive measures to ensure the safety and security of our users. We placed Unstoppabledomains.com in maintenance mode to conduct thorough security checks. In addition, we actively engaged in a Telegram community with others impacted, offering support and insights to help everyone involved. Our team worked tirelessly to review the situation. Because our backend was completely secure, no data was compromised, and your information remained safe. We reached out to partners who sell our domains to rotate API keys out of an abundance of caution. We Are Moving Our .Com to Unstoppable as a Registrar: Traditional DNS registrars like Squarespace can face security challenges if compromised. After we finalize ICANN approval for our registrar license, we plan to transfer and tokenize unstoppabledomains.com within our own system. This means we won't need to rely on third-party providers anymore. We expect this transition to occur within the next month. Once unstoppabledomains.com is tokenized and onchain, any changes to DNS records or domain transfers will require a wallet signature. This will make our domain more secure, functional, and better protected against future attacks What Action You Should Take: No action is required from you at this time. However, as a best practice to enhance account security, we recommend that everyone turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). To further secure your online presence, consider getting your .com domains through Unstoppable in the future. Tokenizing your domains with us can provide an extra layer of security and reliability, helping you avoid similar issues and ensuring your domains are better protected.

Our Domain Was Hijacked At Squarespace: Here’s How Blockchain Can Prevent This From Happening To You On Thursday, July 11th, around 10 PM EST, we experienced a security incident involving the compromise of unstoppabledomains.com. Fortunately, we regained account access with Squarespace by 3 PM EST on Friday, July 12th. The attack aimed to spoof emails; however, there is no evidence of data or account compromise, and no spoof website was launched. We are happy to report that our backend services, smart contracts, and other critical infrastructure remain unimpacted. The incident appears to be limited to our DNS settings on Squarespace. However, as a precautionary measure, we have placed unstoppabledomains.com in maintenance mode while we undergo thorough security checks and clean up and have also reached out to partners to rotate api keys and other access points out of an abundance of caution. We anticipate that the website will be operational early next week. Why did this happen? As a quick summary, the current theory is that during Google Domains migration process to Squarespace, accounts were automatically created for each domain. In our case, the ownership of the account was compromised even though the migration from Squarespace had not been fully completed, and the owner of the domains had never created an account on Squarespace. This points to some vulnerability in auto created accounts from the migration process. Unfortunately, similar breaches have affected several other crypto companies including Compound Labs, Celer Network, Pendle, and countless others. If your company was on Google Domains and was migrated to Squarespace, you are vulnerable and should alert your engineering team immediately. Registrars are custodians of your domains. If they are compromised, like Squarespace today, your website traffic can be routed without your permission to somewhere else. Domains secured onchain are managed through a private key, protecting against hacks without the users permission. For example, today on UnstoppableDomains.com we require wallet signatures for DNS records updates as well as transfer out, which if implemented by other registrars like Squarespace would have entirely prevented the hack we saw today. The message is clear, with onchain domains there’s an opportunity to build systems where users can directly custody their domain records mitigating the custodial problem for domain names. Unstoppable Domains is committed to securing the industry by bringing domains onchain. Read more in-depth about the attack and migration efforts here: https://loom.ly/9MNCaXE
