GoDaddy Hacked

[salvador5266]

Just a heads up to everyone to keep an eye on your Godaddy accounts. Earlier this evening someone hacked my godaddy account. They did not make any changes to my active domains but instead try to use my account paypal details to purchase something else (probably a domain they owned). Lucky for me my balance wasn't enough to cover the transaction so it was rejected. They also changed the email address I had on file for my account and my payment information.

Make sure if you have any issues to look closely at all your address info as well as doing the obvious password change.

Happy Halloween everyone

Your account getting hacked does not mean GoDaddy got hacked.
This is probably an isolated case so please do not spread hoax without proper source to back it up.
It is hard to believe that such high profile hacker would try to access your PayPal for a few bucks...

Clean your computer someone has probably given you a trojan.
