π¨π Notice of Security Incident Affecting GoDaddy & WordPress Hosting!
We are taking several steps to protect you and your data. First, we have blocked the unauthorized third party from our systems.
Second, we have reset your WordPress Admin login credentials, sFTP password and your database password. Your website is still up and running, but you won't be able to edit content until you set new passwords.
Here are the instructions on how to set each password:

sFTP or data password, please visit: https://www.godaddy.com/help/a-40804.

If you use the same password for other accounts, we recommend you change your password to those accounts and adopt data security best practices, such as choosing a strong unique password, regularly changing it, and enabling multi-factor authentication where available. We also recommend that you remain vigilant for potentially fraudulent communications sent to your email address purporting to be from GoDaddy or other third parties.
We sincerely regret this incident occurred and apologize for any inconvenience. Our team has already taken measures to enhance our security in light of this incident.
If you have any other questions, or you need further assistance, please contact us.
