I'm sure some of you may be aware of the situation But as of yesterday (May 1, 2010) at around 2 AM, there was a major hack attempt on GoDaddy. At about 10 AM, GoDaddy Tweeted about this matter (See Tweet: http://twitter.com/GoDaddy/status/13199601776). The issue has not affected all of their hosting accounts and is still being investigated. The issue is not due to a flaw in WordPress as GoDaddy claims, a friend has a site that only has her own hand written PHP code and nothing more. Despite taking my friend is super obsessive about security and knows for a fact her FTP account was not compromised, she found all the PHP files on her server to be infected, even those not publicly available.
When you view the source of any of the PHP pages through the browser, you see the following line inserted just before the </body> tag:
I don't really understand what this code exactly does. Can any PHP code experts decipher it?
GoDaddy claimed they will investigate the issue but when my friend called, she found the tech support staff were completely oblivious to the matter.
So, if you are one of the unlucky ones whose server was a part of the attack, please check the bottom of your source code to make sure the <script> tag isn't there. Otherwise contact GoDaddy and complain.
They are neither of those things
They cause virtually zero issues to end users as when leveraged correctly they are invisible.
They aren't 'DRM', because, they're nothing to do with DigitalRightsManagement
Some Anti-Cheat services I did see are starting to *use* the TPM to store creds/tokens, which it's for, but it's not involved beyond that.
I would suggest doing some reading, both articles are fairly lengthy, but for MS Learn they're actually pretty decent at explaining the concepts.

Cybersecurity in the modern world is all about defence in depth, and these are two of the layers of the security onion
