GoDaddy Goes Down, Anonymous Claims Responsibility

Posted by samzenpus on Monday September 10, 2012 @07:20AM from the protect-ya-neck dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A member of the Anonymous hacktivist group appears to have taken down GoDaddy with a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). The widespread issue seems to be affecting countless websites and services around the world, although not for everyone. Godaddy.com is down, but so are some of the site's DNS servers, which means GoDaddy hosted e-mail accounts are down as well, and lots more. It's currently unclear if the servers are being unresponsive or if they are completely offline. Either way, the result is that if your DNS is hosted on GoDaddy, your site may also look as if it is down, because it cannot resolve."

They supported legislation which was purported to be good for business. In the end once they knew the details of the bill, they pulled their support.

Sorry. Sticking with them. Doubling down. I will not be swayed by the vocal minority.
