The target: GoDaddy, a U.S based website domain registrar and web hosting company.
The take: 1.2 million records of customer information including: email addresses, SSH keys, and database usernames and passwords.
The attack vector: The threat actor gained access to GoDaddy’s hosting servers through a compromised employee account, granting them the same access to all the systems the firm’s user had. Multi-factor authentication was not enabled.
This breach highlights not only the ever-present threat that compromised employee accounts pose to firms, but also the critical importance of proper credential management.
