GoDaddy: Hackers stole source code, installed malware in multi-year breach
Web hosting giant GoDaddy says it suffered a breach where unknown attackers have stolen source code and installed malware on its servers after breaching its cPanel shared hosting environment in a multi-year attack.
While GoDaddy discovered the security breach in early December 2022 following customer reports that their sites were being used to redirect to random domains, the attackers had access to the company's network for multiple years.

yup! thanks for letting us know. there might be many such hosting companies whose cpanel, directadmin, plesk could have been hacked and the owners still don't know. Any one can see such hacked sites, tons, in google search, having the site titled as: Untitled and some gibberish content that leads to CPA offers.
