At this time I don’t want to disclose the circumstances surrounding this email in case the issue is exploitable. I have reached out to KaiDomain letting them know of this issue.
I take data security very seriously. As a precaution, I’d recommend changing your password to another password you do not use elsewhere, and if you use your current password on any other site you may want to change it there too especially if you use the same email.
P.S. Mods, if this is in the wrong forum, I apologize in advance.
Update: I have received an email from KD stating that the email was part of a test. While it seems odd for a test, hopefully this means everyone’s accounts are intact and that KD will continue to work on their systems.
I’m paranoid about data security. I’d like to stress that, since it is entirely possible this is an isolated incident. I know a lot of other users here use KD, so I wanted to put forth that recommendation pending more info since I’d want someone else to do the same for me.
well, at least someone is getting account details. My old account is “gone”, a new one didn’t work and I practically gave up on ordering from them. Which is a shame, I really liked their old website.
you can also no longer filter for new products, only other, less interesting criteria.
Mmm… because :-D it's there, I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work. They're having a lot of issues with the new site, thus I'm sure they're still making use of the old site to some extent, at least while they manage to get the new @#$% fully working. Or so I think.
Problem is they're no longer updating the old site's product listing. :-(
I also had this , I ordered through their Aliexpress shop , and got an email saying they had set up an account on thier Kidomain site for…… Thomas !!!
I replied to their email asking who Thomas was and told them I already had and account in my own email address to that site.
I also asked them how long it would be for my old purchase history would be listed on my new account.
Just revisited my account to change my password as very sensibly suggested above , did this then noticed a new line in the order history …… Archive order history before 1 July 2018, all my old orders are shown there
I also noticed that the provided login credentials included what appeared to be a temporary password. Not a great practice, but not actually any different than providing a password reset or account confirmation link, provided that it expires if unchanged, just as such links typically do.
I’m tending to believe that this was a “test,” though a somewhat sloppy one. If that is the case, I suspect that they did leak the name/email of one of their (former?) customers.
Are you guys making sure you’re not being phished? First of all, DO NOT click on a “Kaidomain” link in that email. It could send you to a site that looks like the real deal, and then log your real username and password as you attempt to log in. If you want to sign into KD, then do it the same way you always do it.
Have you guys checked the email headers? Even if they appear legit, I still would not use any links provided in that email.
