GoDaddy reported a data breach where unknown third parties gained access to its source code, and installed malware on the company’s server.
The company investigated and found that the intermittent redirects were happening on seemingly random websites hosted on their cPanel shared hosting servers.
Later on, they found that an unauthorized party had gained access to servers in their cPanel shared hosting environment and installed malware, causing the intermittent redirection of customer websites.
GoDaddy is working with cyber and law enforcement agencies as part of an ongoing investigation into the leading cause of the breach.
“We have evidence, and law enforcement has confirmed, that this incident was carried out by a sophisticated and organized group targeting hosting services like Go Daddy.”
The attackers' main goal is to infect websites and servers with malware for phishing campaigns, distribution, and other malicious activities.
