If you don't know who GoDaddy is, then the good news is you
were most likely not affected by this disastrous turn of events. If you are one
of the millions of people who use GoDaddy’s services, you may have noticed some
slight technical difficulties today. Namely not being able to access your site
or your email. The administrators of the largest name registrar on the Internet
have confirmed that they are suffering from technical issues, but are not
giving any details as to what those issues are. Although GoDaddy is not
talking, a supposed member of the Anonymous hacktivism collective is taking credit
for the attack stating on Twitter that the reason for the attack is to test how
the cyber security is safe.
The latest update from GoDaddy was a Tweet at 4pm Eastern
Standard Time saying “ Update: Still working on it, but we’re making progress.
Some service has already been restored. Stick with us.”
We understand that many of our clients utilize Go Daddy’s
services and we are available to answer any questions you may have about the
issues plaguing the GoDaddy servers.
