Hi WAmily,

GoDaddy discovered unauthorized third-party access to their Managed WordPress hosting environment and when they learned of this breach, they immediately started taking action.

If you have your website hosted under a Managed WordPress plan with GoDaddy you will want to take some action and follow up with GoDaddy to see if your website is one of the 1.2 Million websites exposed in this breach.

It's best to assume that they have breached your account until you can confirm with GoDaddy that you have not.

Sites where the SSL private key was exposed, it could be possible for an attacker to decrypt traffic using the stolen SSL private key, provided they could successfully perform a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack that intercepts encrypted traffic between a site visitor and an affected site.

All the best,

Luc

Thank you for the heads up, Luc.

Whew! That's one I don't have to worry about. Good to know, however.

Damn, thanks for the heads up, glad I saw this in time on here, Luc 🙀👍

Thanks so much, Luc. Glad that I don't have any GoDaddy accounts.
