GoDaddy reported today Tuesday [PDF] a violation committed in early October in early California, alleging that an unauthorized person was able to gain access to SSH accounts used in their hosting environment.
“We have no evidence that files have been added or modified on account you," the company told its customers, omitting to provide further details.
"The unauthorized person has been excluded from our systems and we are continuing to investigate the potential impact on our environment."
The company said it has reset passwords and will provide affected customers with a free year of service security and malware removal.
“These services run automatic scans on your website to identify and notify you of any potential vulnerabilities security", he said.
"With this service, if a problem arises, there is a special way to contact our security team who will be there for help."
The company reported in February net income of $138,4 million from total income $2,99 billion. GoDaddy had 19,3 million customers at the end of 2019.
In the fourth quarter, the company reported revenue of $ 780 million, $ 352 million from domains, $ 293 million from web hosting and $ 135 million from business applications.
It is therefore quite natural that such a company is a very tempting target for malicious users.
From iGuRu.gr we do not recommend such companies for hosting your websites, and our goal in the near future is to deal more extensively with the issue of hosting and the services they deserve.
