User says Namecheap seized and disabled all their domains

A discussion appeared on the Hacker News front page at 00:56 on October 19, 2026, in which a user said the domain registrar Namecheap seized and disabled every domain under their name. The claim is still only the user's account. The original page could not be opened because of a network security block, so no further details could be read from it. The reports so far do not disclose the reason for the seizure, how many domains were involved, or what happened before and after.
