True story.

I worked for a medium sized company. They had a very large commercial e-commerce site for their customers. They used Wordpress sites that were hosted on GoDaddy. I worked there for two years. They never updated any of their passwords for GoDaddy or their Wordpress sites.

Its been almost ten years since I've worked there and I occasionally log on just to see if they've updated anything. Nope. Last time I checked was early 2024. Still nothing was updated.

I mean, someone gets access to their GoDaddy account and within minutes will have full control of a major bit of their business. Talk about playing with fire.

... but.. why?

Why let them live rent-free in your mind? Why admit to that in even a pseudonymous space?
