GoDaddy Incorporation’s email addresses of up to 1.2 million active and inactive Managed WordPress customers had been exposed in an unauthorised third-party access.
The third-party accessed the system using a compromised password. The company said it had immediately blocked the unauthorised third party, and an investigation is still going on.
Chief Information Security Officer Demetrius Comes said, "We identified suspicious activity in our Managed WordPress hosting environment and immediately began an investigation with the help of an IT forensics firm and contacted law enforcement."
