In disclosure for securities commissions and exchanges, web clerks and hosting companies, GoDaddy has revealed that he found it was hacked. The company said that he found “unauthorized third parties” have gained access to a managed WordPress hosting environment. Any up to 1.2 million users have seen the email address and their customer number is open, as well as admin password for both WordPress sites hosted on the platform, plus a password for SFPS, databases and SSL private keys.
The document said that Godaddy believed that the first violation occurred on September 6, 2021, and the investigation is currently underway. Demetrius came, the Head of Information Security Officer, said that Godaddy is currently working with law enforcement and a personal forensic company. In addition, it is said that it has reset relevant credentials and will work with users to issue a new SSL certificate. Come to end his statement by saying that the company will, maybe a little too late, “learns from this incident” and will take steps to prevent violations that occur in the future.
This is far from the first time that Godaddy has been spoken in the same sentence as security violations in recent years. In 2018, AWS errors expose data on Godaddy servers, and by 2020, 28,000 user accounts violated by unauthorized individuals. Then last year, Godaddy was also referred to as part of a hack that lowered a number of sites in the Cryptocurrency room.
