I'm not going to spend today defending GoDaddy, as they've been a fair fly in the ointment to me. However I would not suggest burning them at the stake because of somebody on this particular blog posted an inconclusive statement about a breach which was, as far as we can tell, dealt with already.
As a customer of theirs, I'll probably be contacting them about this to make sure I don't have any similar issues, and suggesting a remedy (probably something like the cryptographic hash based verification method suggested elsewhere on this page) for the future.
I don't trust the source though. /she/ included "an email" "from godaddy". But Skepchick has been host to such golden, contributing members of society as Rebecca Watson, so excuse me if I don't feel compelled to believe incriminating claims from people who ruin blood cancer research donation drives with inappropriate and divisive humour, then criticize others for being confused or offended rather than apologizing.
From reading the article alone, sure, I wouldn't be quite as skeptical, but I'm going to hold out until GoDaddy has a say in this case, because I don't really trust either of them.
So this seem sketchy because it is on the same blog that also includes someone completely unrelated that made a joke you find offensive? Whatever floats your boat I guess...
