[ga] Massive Number of GoDaddy WordPress Blogs Hacked

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

See:

and

A nasty little exploit has hit a large number of GoDaddy-hosted
WordPress blogs this weekend. The best part is that the exploit only
executes when the traffic is referred by Google, making it the sort of
thing that site maintainers won't easily notice. Clever and devious.

  It is becoming more evident as has been warned before that GoDaddy
and the Google connection demonstrating a significant disregard for
their customers and users privacy and security remains prevalent
and not dealt with by ICANN, Google, nor GoDaddy.  But I suppose
that given GoDaddy is the #1 revenue provider of ICANN's Registrars
little by ICANN to correct this ongoing problem will be effected
effectively, if at all...
