GoDaddy security breach exposed WordPress data of 1.2 Mn users

Posted on November 23, 2021 by Dissent

Reuters reports:

The company said the incident was discovered on November 17 and the third-party accessed the system using a compromised password.

GoDaddy was criticized by some on social media for failure to notify consumers on its website about the breach while reporting it to the SEC in a filing. This is not the way consumers should first find out about a breach.
