Fraudsters Target Cryptocurrency Platforms Through GoDaddy

Fraudsters targeted two cryptocurrency platforms by accessing domains managed by GoDaddy. The fraudsters gained access to the platforms by using social engineering techniques to trick GoDaddy employees into temporarily transferring control over the domains to the malicious actors. The attacks affected only a “limited” number of accounts, and the firm is taking steps to address the issue.
