To be clear, the issue was with a 3rd party provider that we use to send our newsletter. None of our own systems or customer accounts where breached. I sent a follow up email to all users that were affected. The domains linked in the original phishing emails were also disabled. I apologize for this issue and to anyone it may have affected. We have also taken immediate steps to insure it will not happen again.

I wonder who the upstream is? I’m guessing a large email provider. Maybe owned by a company with a history of recent breaches.

Namecheap is still responsible for the third parties they work with. But nobody “gave your password”.

Out of curiosity, what are these better alternatives?
I think many viewed NameCheap as the better alternative to GoDaddy in the first place.
Apparently some were successful with Porkbun for their domains, but I don't think they offer e-mail, hosting as well as a bunch of other stuff NameCheap has.
There's also Google Domains I guess, but some are cautious about using too many of Google's services, given automated bans.
I'm sure that good alternatives exist out there, but that might mean using a bunch of separate services instead of one (which can be okay), for example: Porkbun for domains, Fastmail for e-mails, Hetzner for servers and so on...
Edit: I was wrong about Porkbun, apparently they also provide e-mail and hosting now. Though their front page also has a warning about phishing e-mails.
