GoDaddy: Hackers stole source code, installed malware in multi-year breach

GoDaddy: Hackers stole source code, installed malware in multi-year breach

 

I assume by that article that only WordPress users are affected. At least I hope that is the case.

 

I'm telling you guys, IT security at a lot of these companies is a freaking joke. I don't even want to think about how many companies are currently being spied on without them even knowing about it.

 

Now that I think of it, I just read that 42% of the internet is using WordPress, so it's a huge problem if hackers can simply redirect you to malicious stuff. This is also why it's extra important to use a good AV combined with additional protection tools, because you can't even trust many legit websites anymore. Too bad that the Microsoft Store sucks, otherwise it would be a good alternative to popular download sites.

 

WordPress is easy to use. It also has more holes than Swiss cheese. If you use it, you're gonna have a bad time. There really isn't even anything IT can do about it other than ban its use.

 

I'm assuming this is why it is telling me we have no CPanel accounts despite having over 2 dozen sites... They need to fix it either way.
