This video shows it (not so clearly) that after a fresh install of WordPress on a newly purchased domain that links within the users accounts actually jump to another user’s admin and information!
According to the film author:
I could delete or modify their databases, uninstall their WordPress, Joopla, or whatever, make purchases and even sell, among many more functions which I left out of this uncut and unmodified video in an effort to preserve truly sensitive information and not cause any further damage.
No hack was involved.
I simply logged into my account and discovered that it was this way. What’s more, I can’t do anything with my own service at this time, because all links within my own account and it’s cPanel lead to OTHER PEOPLES SECURE ACCOUNTS!!
In light of this situation, I’m shopping for a reliable and SECURE host.
GoDaddy can’t be trusted with my sensitive information. Can they be trusted with yours?
Good final question there. I’ve never personally been a fan of GoDaddy and I’m so glad I have nothing on their services. Yikes.
***UPDATE***
GoDaddy responds:
@wpdailyco This should be resolved, but please call support immediately if you see any further issues: http://t.co/YZqnTi2F ^Cj
