    Damn. Pretty sure it's not just 1.2M accounts

    During the period from September 6, 2021, to November 17, 2021, the sFTP and database usernames and passwords of active customers were accessible to the attacker.

    This has expanded, according to Wordfence to other GoDaddy owned hosting: tsoHost, Media Temple, 123Reg, Domain Factory, Heart Internet, and Host Europe.

    They have such wide reach that isn't so obvious, so whoever you are hosting with, it might be a good time to update your passwords.

    I use BitWarden to help me choose strong passwords and to keep them secure so i don't forget them. I have also used LastPass. I have no clue what most of my passwords are, but I don't need to because the password managers help.

    I still have an account with them but I did transfer out all of my domains.

    I suggest namecheap for a domain registrar in my opinion.

    Sucks to hear of this happening though. I'm starting to believe holding an account with anyone isn't safe anymore since everyone's getting hacked.

      Right now I don't think they can get any slower at transferring domains. Had some on pending status for too long. Wouldn't ever recommend them.

      I'm with you on the Namecheap idea...

    Do you know whether they sent out an email to inform affected accounts?

      Did you change your passwords? This mostly affected their hosting clients, but I would change passwords just in case.
