BACKGROUND:
It has been reported internet infrastructure company GoDaddy has admitted that a hacker gained access to the personal information of more than 1.2 million customers of its WordPress hosting service. In documents filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission earlier today, GoDaddy said it discovered the breach last week, on November 17, after noticing “suspicious activity” on its Managed WordPress hosting environment. The subsequent investigation found that a hacker had access to its servers for more than two months, since at least September 6.
