Who looks after your old website logins?

The NCSC is seeking experience of how organisations assess and choose tools for external cyber risk. For sellers, it is a useful prompt to check the websites, accounts and services still attached to the business.

THE SOURCED NEWS

What the NCSC is asking

In a blog published on 12 October, the National Cyber Security Centre invites people involved in evaluating, selecting or adopting external attack surface management tools to share their experience. The research concerns how organisations assess risks and make decisions before adopting these services.

Participation is voluntary and may include interviews, surveys or trying early ideas. Registering interest does not guarantee a research invitation. The announcement is a research call, not a warning that SellerBundle visitors’ accounts have been compromised.

SELLERBUNDLE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS

SellerBundle: make a small service inventory

Write down the services your shop relies on: domain registration, website hosting, email, marketplace accounts and connected apps. Give each a named person responsible for renewals and access. Include old test shops and unused accounts, because they are easy to forget when daily orders take over.

Start with the services you actually own and manage. Check their supported security settings and recovery details. When a freelancer or colleague leaves, review their permissions through the service’s own controls rather than assuming they no longer have access.

SELLERBUNDLE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS

Turn the list into a useful routine

Pick one account to review today. Confirm that the right business contact receives important notices, identify unfamiliar integrations and investigate them before making changes. Keep recovery codes and sensitive access details in appropriate secure storage, separate from a general task list.

For a small shop, the practical win is knowing what exists and who can act if something goes wrong. This checklist is our business-process analysis, not an NCSC requirement or a claim that you need to buy a security product. Read the official research invitation if you have relevant experience; use SellerBundle’s safer-payments guide to review everyday verification and evidence habits.
