GoDaddy Updates Its User Protection Policies

If account ownership verification is your concern, then the digits of a credit card offer relatively little assurance. Fun story: I used to work for a company that utilized the last four of a CC on file for verification. They also let anyone pay an outstanding balance without needing to otherwise verify, and kept the last four of the card on file. So...

Oh heck, let&#x27;s just verify on the whole card number. Apparently GoDaddy&#x27;s CSRs have access to it such that management can just arbitrarily increase the number of digits to check.<p>Not reported: whether PayPal will also increase the number of digits they hand out via social engineering.

Fair play for GoDaddy addressing this issue, though I do wonder if the issue was not as vocalised publicly how ling it would of taken to address. We may never know, and it changes nothing in the past.<p>What I don&#x27;t know is how this effects the original user who lost there @N twitter account.<p><pre><code> Did he get it back? Had GoDaddy now respectfuly owning up to there oversight made any offer to restore things and&#x2F;or compensation? </code></pre> So far so good, but still missing the happy ending we all want to see for the user.
