GoDaddy employees used in multiple crypto service attacks in a week

Fraudsters have used employees at Internet names and registrations management major GoDaddy to attack multiple cryptocurrency services over the past one week, said a report.

While GoDaddy acknowledged that “limited” number of GoDaddy employees fell for a social engineering scam, the company did not reveal how the employees were tricked by the fraudsters to make the unauthorised changes required for the attacks, KrebsOnSecurity reported on Saturday.

The attacks led to modifications of “a small number” of customer domain names, according to GoDaddy spokesperson Dan Race who said that the incident was still under investigation, the report noted.
