Security News > 2020 > May > GoDaddy Notifies Customers of Data Breach
GoDaddy has been notifying customers of a data breach that may have resulted in their web hosting account credentials getting compromised.
"We need to inform you of a security incident impacting your GoDaddy web hosting account credentials," the accompanying customer notification letter reads.
The company said it started an investigation immediately after identifying suspicious activity on a subset of servers, which revealed that "An unauthorized individual" was able to access the credentials customers use to connect to SSH on their hosting account.
"We have no evidence that any files were added or modified on your account," the web hosting provider says, but advises customers to conduct an audit of their hosting accounts.
GoDaddy is providing impacted customers with one year of premium security services, which should help them identify any potential security vulnerabilities on their websites.
