About the GoDaddy Attack
What Happened?
According to various reports, GoDaddy had been the victim of a serious cybersecurity attack that lasted for at least three years before it was finally discovered. Here’s what we know:
- GoDaddy has revealed that it was the victim of a multi-year data breach. This resulted in compromised customer data and unauthorized access to customer accounts and websites.
- The breach occurred between 2019 and 2022 and affected an unknown number of GoDaddy customers.
- The hackers are reported to have used stolen login credentials to gain access to GoDaddy’s systems. Afterward, they installed malware on the company’s servers and stole sensitive data both from GoDaddy itself and its customers.
- Data stolen by the hackers includes: Customer Email Addresses, WordPress Admin Passwords, sFTP and database credentials, SSL private keys, and more.
Who Does This Impact?
If you use GoDaddy to host your business’ website, your data could be at risk. Not only does this attack compromise your data, but it could have an impact on your operations and reputation. Without a secure hosting solution, the stolen data could be used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to your website, email accounts, and other sensitive information or accounts.
This is why it is essential to take the necessary steps to ensure that your data is protected now.
