Public Domain: How Configuration Information For the World’s Largest Domain Name Registrar Was Exposed

The UpGuard Cyber Risk Team has discovered and secured exposed documents from GoDaddy’s infrastructure in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. The documents, which included sensitive configuration and pricing information for tens of thousands of systems, were left in a publicly accessible AWS bucket. The exposure has been closed after GoDaddy was notified, preventing further potential misuse of the data.
