Everyone already knows that GoDaddy Hosting was down for about 8 hrs. yesterday and putting many businesses offline. Why, still remains a mystery but this report from Huffington Post gives some info.
I was just getting back from a long day of classes and was about to enjoy a generous lunch when I received a message from my friend, Donny Tsunami.
"Your website's down, man."
I Immediately went to my website, PandaUnite.org, and sure enough, a "DNS Error" showed up.
I had seen something recently on my Facebook Timeline about a message for GoDaddy from Anonymous, so I immediately googled "Anonymous Godaddy hack."
It turns out, Anonymous was quick to accept responsibility for taking down not only GoDaddy but millions of websites hosted on its servers as well.
"I'm taking godaddy down bacause well i'd like to test how the cyber security is safe and for more reasons that i can not talk now " reads a tweet from @AnonymousOwn3r.
An Anonymous source clued me into their intentions.
This was a warning shot.
