FTC Takes Action Against GoDaddy for Alleged Lax Data Security for Its Website Hosting Services

The Federal Trade Commission will require web hosting company GoDaddy to implement a robust information security program to settle charges that the company failed to secure its website-hosting services against attacks that could harm its customers and visitors to the customers’ websites.

The FTC alleges in its complaint that, since 2018, GoDaddy has failed to implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect and monitor its website-hosting environments for security threats, and misled customers about the extent of its data security protections on its website hosting services.

  • I wonder who took them seriously with those Danica Patrick spokesperson ads.

    • I had a friend that set me up with them and they were great at first. But then I was tied to them because of the way they set it up. I'm not the most savvy either, so I'm not sure how I could switch because of I have other domains tied in with my main site. I hate them though.
