Remember the sexy ads, the ones that made headlines, and also commoditized web hosting? Then there were the Danica Patrick ads, essentially an extension of the sexy ads that seemed so controversial at the time. Those were the frontier days of web hosting and domain grabbing, the latter a hobbyist’s pursuit until a secondary market emerged that lifted dot coms into the development space of digital real estate. If you had an idea for a business, you first searched and secured the potential URL names, just in case. GoDaddy was among the first to really make that process user friendly, but now it seems they may have made a limited amount of data a little too user friendly.

A recent Security Week post describes a breach of GoDaddy’s hosting database that resulted in the possible release of web hosting account credentials for an undisclosed number of users. The crisis may well have been averted, the story suggests, but the lesson will linger and should resonate with any company with a digital footprint, which is every company doing business today.
