GoDaddy Complaint Over Years of Poor Cybersecurity

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) has issued a scathing complaint against web-hosting giant GoDaddy, accusing the company of failing to implement basic cybersecurity tools and practices since 2018.

What Is the ITC, and What Is the Complaint?

The ITC is a US federal agency responsible for enforcing trade laws, addressing unfair trade practices, and protecting industries from harm. Although its remit typically covers trade-related matters, it has increasingly expanded its oversight to include consumer protection, particularly in cases where corporate failings have broader implications for commerce and public interest.
