I recieved an email alaert this morning Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 6:44 AM from GoDaddy that my account settings had changed. WHen I logged in, I noticed my email is now backwards. Ex. instead of Email.com it's liamE.com .

Anyone with GoDaddy see something similar? I'm waiting to get in touch with their tech support to find out what triggered the change, just very odd

That means you got hacked, you better change your password immediately! ;)

Whine? I'm checking if any others have experienced the same. It's either a programming bug on their end or a crafty way of compromising an account

How are they going to compromise your account by having the letters reversed?

Well, the email changed but the password stayed the same and I don't really know what that means. GoDaddy says someone logged in and changed it this morning but they don't log the IP address so I can only guess it's malicious.

Well, the only change that was made was to the email and I was able to create that with gmail so I control it now.

GoDaddy hasn't a clue so I'll just update the email/pw/pin and add 2factor. They say it shows someone logged in but I don't believe that, it's likely a programming bug on their end

Yes, you're whining about a personal problem that isn't interesting, and has no place here. Perhaps you did it yourself after a night of heavy drinking.
