GoDaddy had another privacy breach - reset your passwords!!
-
FYI - https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/22/22796729/godaddy-email-addresses-passwords-security-breach-managed-wordpress-ssl-keys - "Over a million GoDaddy WordPress customers had email addresses exposed in latest breach"
Looks like this was related to people using Managed WordPress services though from them, but I tend to use these as a great excuse to reset any account-related passwords with that provider regardless if you use that particular service or not. So a good idea to reset any GoDaddy passwords just to be safe.
Sharing here since GoDaddy is a service used by many and because Cloudron integrates with them. FWIW - I'd recommend not using them if possible as they have a bad reputation in the industry (which is an entirely different conversation lol). Not that nobody will ever be hacked, it's a "only a matter of when, not if" type thing, but GoDaddy has had so many over the years that it'd a bit embarrassing IMO and I'd intentionally avoid them wherever possible. Just my two cents though.

@d19dotca I'd suggest not just changing passwords but completely ditching GoDaddy who are just a really shitty company.

I moved everything from GoDaddy to Uniregistry .... and then GoDaddy bought Uniregistry !! I was truly miffed !
I also hate Network Solutions who are most rapacious company I have ever known, and whose pricing model was designed along Moroccan bazaar principles.

@timconsidine you'll be safe with gandi.net, they'd never sell themselves to someone like GoDaddy (indeed I doubt they'd ever sell themselves to anyone).

Joker.com are also good for domains, but not yet integrated with Cloudron.
