GoDaddy Says AI-Driven Cyberattack Exposed Website Customer Information

GoDaddy said an AI-driven cyberattack on Sept. 18 exposed profile, settings and contact information tied to its Websites + Marketing product, though the attacker did not obtain passwords or access customer accounts. The company said the attacker read data through an API, that the activity was contained, and that it notified law enforcement, the FTC and UK and EU data protection authorities. GoDaddy, which called it its first known AI-driven cyberattack, urged customers to watch for phishing and enable two-step verification.
