There is an undetermined number of sites hosted at GoDaddy Server that have been attacked and exploited and unfortuanely Mine is one among them. The scenario is the same as a few months ago: Malware is injected into the .php files(WordPress) on the hosted sites, and the visitors of a site are getting redirected to a third website which injects a virus into the visitors’ computer.
If you’re on GoDaddy Server & hosted WordPress Website, a major malware infection is going around. Kindly check yours and get solved soon!

An exploit affected PHP files on approximately 150 Go Daddy accounts Friday afternoon. Go Daddy’s Security Team worked quickly to clean and restore these websites, however, we have detected additional customer sites that may currently be experiencing difficulties due to this same attack.
Go Daddy’s Security Team has identified the cause. Our forensics have determined malicious files are being uploaded via FTP to customer websites. Go Daddy is asking all customers who believe they have a problem to change their FTP passwords.
Meantime, our team is working swiftly to restore all affected websites and appreciates customer feedback. Go Daddy will continue to monitor as long as it takes to ensure our customer accounts are clean.
