Tell HN: Security Incident at Dynadot
It seems there is some sort of a security incident at Dynadot. We have received an email asking us to change our passwords. The email contains a broken link so it was definitely slapped together rapidly without any testing.
Attempt to login with an old password triggers a password reset flow. The website and the API for dynadot are down.
No official information is available.

We do not have exact details on the irregularirites at this time I'm afriad!"
Further messages from them have told me that they will be updating everyone once they finish investigating the issue.
Concerning, but I do appreciate their proactive approach at least.
