Sucuri.net On Top of Malware Infections
It would appear that in late April, May and now June 2010, GoDaddy.com has been (and continues to be) the victim of a sophisticated hack that writes malicious script to many of their shared hosting servers.
How many websites were affected? Hmm. Hard to say. I can say that about 40-percent of the sites I am involved with were affected—I would hate to project such a number across the millions of sites that GoDaddy.com hosts. They are the biggest player in the shared web hosting game. Ouch.
As such, I have spent hours cleaning up websites and some of my more recreational hobby sites are still down (e.g., AcrossRoss.com). Compounding my frustration, several of my sites were re-infected after they were cleaned. What a nightmare.
