Basic Security Holes
I currently was asked by someone why godaddy.com might have sent them an email saying their site was vulnerable. I was a little baffled after looking at the site because it does not use a database, there are no login areas, no request forms, it is just information and graphics. Are there some really basic security issues that people know of that someone could briefly mention. I don't need in-depth explanations, I can do searches and find out the rest. Just want to see if there is something I am not aware of.
who knows... godaddy (as well as a lot of other tech-related bargain sites) likes to scare their customers who aren't so tech-savvy with things like "Your information is publicly available via whois - would you like to pay us to hide that information?" and things like that. You might ask them what exactly the email said.
I agree
That was one of my first questions, in terms of whether or not the email followed with some type of sales pitch. They said no, but I know that if godaddy has any type of basic marketing savvy that they have planted a nice seed in your head that will keep you up long enough at night to make you go and ask them for help or a possible resolution to the problem. Of course $$$ signs will follow.
Nonetheless it worked because I am here taking time to look into it. I may not have designed the site, but I am being propositioned to see if I can find anything out.
