The document says that GoDaddy believes that the breach first occurred on September 6th, 2021, and the investigation is currently ongoing. Demetrius Comes, Chief Information Security Officer, says that GoDaddy is currently working with law enforcement and a private IT forensics firm. In addition, it says that it has reset the relevant credentials and will work with users to issue new SSL certificates. Comes ends his statement by saying that the company will, perhaps a little too belatedly, “learn from this incident” and will take steps to prevent such a breach happening in future.

I support women's right to decide on their own bodies (e.g. early abortions), I do not agree with so-called 'pro-lifers' (misnomer anyway), but what #godaddy is doing right now is very clearly a war on whistleblowers (under the infamous old guise of "privacy"), so #boycottGoDaddy and don't pay them a dime
