I was shocked when I purchased a domain recently on GoDaddy (I normally use Cloudflare or AWS) and noticed that they have an 'upsell' with more security options (MFA and some other features) for something like $10/yr. Why wouldn't they want their customers to be more secure by default? To me it just reeks of money-grabbing for people that are none the wiser.
- grajaganDev 2y agoIt is outrageous and irresponsible to charge for MFA. It show a cavalier attitude toward the greater security of the internet.
- Terretta 2y agoSame for OIDC (and even traditional SAML SSO). If every stolen or potentially stolen credential was billed to the breached provider at even $100/account*, SSO would become free so fast your head would spin. Every credential in the provider's DB would be correctly seen as a liability. * Arguably the number should be higher and contribute to a infosec response, detection, and preventative measures warchest. Though, ultimately, this would probably just enrich cybersecurity insurance firms.
- grajaganDev 2y agoAgreed. Another example is Microsoft charging extra for enhanced logging. This came to light during the SolarWinds debacle.
- philsnow 2y agoNot exactly the same but this reeks of https://sso.tax https://sso.tax.
- fastball 2y agoWhy did you purchase a domain on GoDaddy if you know better?
