[DMac]

GoDaddy hosts millions of websites. They have been hit with a DNS attack. This is a major problem right now, I think millions of sites are being affected by this outage.

Is GSUS hosted by GoDaddy, or was the name bought from GoDaddy? If so, this site will be down in a matter of hours as the DNS cache expires.

[Shami-Amourae]

This website/forum is registered through GoDaddy...

Just saying.

Thanks, I tried 2 whois but they kept timing out.

I have to get back to work, but if you folks set up the IP in your hosts file you should be able to maintain access. This outage could last a while!

My domain is registered with GoDaddy, but it the site is not on a GoDaddy server.

[JohnQPublic]

Wow. All Many my GoDaddy sites are down. This is the only mission critical site, and I got it off GoDaddy over a year ago.

Edit: I found at least one site still up!

[vacuum]

edit: nvm

I wonder if the nsa is caching our dns name or something? lol

[JohnQPublic]

Looks like I am back up.

Just when you thought the Internet was safe, the forces of evil strikes again. Government never sleeps. The Internet is one of the most important advancements in human history, giving a voice to the voiceless. This is why governments never rests, coming up with endless plans to take over the Internet. A Executive Order has appeared to leaks laying out plans to have The Department of Homeland Security lead a council that will lay out the rules for cyberseurity for critical infrastructure. No matter how perfectly clear the American people make it that we do not want Government to take over the Internet in ANY way, there is still a endless stream of attempts to do just that. The fight for a free and open Internet may never end, are you up for the battle?

Godaddy....owned by google.....owned by govt. Go figure.


Funny how this happens <1.5 month after the founder of GoDaddy stepped down from the CEO post.
To spice up the whole story, I dare you to go to his wikipedia entry (Warren Adelman) and read the last paragraph under 'Career'...

Just checked. I work on a site hosted by godaddy (not mine) and everything seems fine as I type this

[Heimdhal]

The only problems I had was getting into my work email, website stayed up, but its only the domain through go daddy.

This whole story smacks of one gigantic steaming pile of fabricated bullshit.

Yeah, why take down such a broad spectrum of websites?? It does stink...and considering the connections involved, who's to say it wasn't an inside job?

This whole anonymous hacker thing is the same damn thing as <insert war on terror terrorist here> claiming responsibility for doing something.

If someone wanted to strike a blow, they would do it, and shut up about it.

Just more psyop nonsense.

Problem, reaction, solution.

Notice this "Anonymous" member actually has a name called "Own3r". See the problem with sticking a false flag on Anonymous is that anyone can claim to be them...it's totally pointless to blame them. But once you have a name and an individual you can find all the "links" to the "anonymous network", and from there take down the "hacker programs" like tor and bitcoin.

Yup.

What seems ridiculous, and absolutely unrealistic to me, is the act of giving your opponent the advantage by claiming to be the one who is responsible.

Unless it's is complete disinfo, or a false flag, why would anyone help themselves get caught by providing any information at all? Why post a tweet, etc.. afterwards to give anyone anything more to go on?

Same deal for <insert flavor of the day terrrist> so nice of them to always own up to the latest attack to help save the time trying to figure it all out.

Hey, no need to investigate, we already know who it was as they already confessed.

woohoo!

[DMac]

When Anonymous proper came out and said 'this ain't us' my mind immediately thought this is an op. Cui Bono?

[Buddha]

It works to make people wary of the internet in general. The majority knows nothing more than how to check email and log into FB, and that "go daddy" is that commercial with "them half nekid womenz in it". I have family members that think that CP will just pop up on their computers and an FBI team will be down there. I can thank the "news" for that (combined with my families general ignorance).

GoDaddy outage was caused by router snafu, not DDoS attack (http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/09/godaddy-outage-caused-by-router-snafu-not-ddos-attack/)


"Monday's five-hour outage that left GoDaddy unable to serve millions of websites that depend on it for Web hosting was not caused by an external attack as claimed by an anonymous hoaxster. An internal network error was at fault, company officials said Tuesday morning..."

A lot of the commentors are not buying it.
