The GoDaddy customer breaches didn’t have to happen and don’t have to happen to you.
Cisco threat researchers recently reported a dramatic uptick in Angler Exploit Kit-based attacks connected to compromised GoDaddy domain registry accounts.
GoDaddy, which manages nearly a third of all global domain names used on the Internet, has issued media statements clarifying that it was not breached. It was its customers who allowed their login credentials to be stolen and used to create malicious subdomains, the company explained, accurately stating this is an industry problem for cloud-based service providers.
