Spike in Backdoor Infections of GoDaddy hosted Websites

 GoDaddy-hosted websites were attacked by a new backdoor infection, which appears as pharmaceutical spam templates on various websites. According to Wordfence, 298 websites have already been infected due to this vulnerability.

Threat actors use these spam templates to collect payment details and force customers to make fake purchases. These attacks are harder to detect because they directly affect the website servers instead of the browser.

Another worrying aspect is that such cyberattacks can also harm the website’s reputation and alter the content. The priority of web admins should be to remove this backdoor from the code.
