Here we go again: Malware Sightings on GoDaddy Managed Hosting

Good job that not many of here use WordPress on GoDaddy.

Today, March 15, 2022, The Wordfence Incident Response team alerted our Threat Intelligence team to an increase in infected websites hosted on GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress service, which includes MediaTemple, tsoHost, 123Reg, Domain Factory, Heart Internet, and Host Europe Managed WordPress sites. These affected sites have a nearly identical backdoor prepended to the wp-config.php file. Of the 298 sites that have been newly infected by this backdoor starting 5 days ago on March 11, at least 281 are hosted with GoDaddy.
