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 to your account," the company told its customers, failing 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 one year free of charge serviceς security and malware removal.
"These services run automatic scans on your site to identify and alert you to potential security vulnerabilities," 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 the hosting of your websites, and our goal is to deal more extensively with the subject in the next period hosting and the services they deserve.
