[QUOTE="Tom K., post: 2350599, member: 67334"] No it is not OK that GoDaddy got hacked. Epik was made aware since Feb that they had a security hole but did nothing and still appears nothing has been done to fix it. We can only presume since there are almost no updates. The hackers were roaming in the backend for many months. Hate speech is not free speech. Do you want to open that can of worms? GD's hack appears to be limited to their managed WordPress service. This is not unexpected since vps and shared hosting is only as secure as the weakest link. This means that if a user does not secure their website(s), has weak login credentials, and/or engages in shady behavior, this can expose other users on the same server or network and make it easier for hackers to exploit the network. When I first started out and was using shared hosting, my sites occasionally would be down for many days, if not weeks because of another user. We can also safely say that the attack was not targeted because of any controversial views or activities of the CEO. Epik's CEO has a laundry list and a history. In any event, it is not ok. [/QUOTE]
