As you may know, GoDaddy.com shut down this past week. Almost everyone thought this was done by a hacker, one associated with Anonymous (The guys who hacked PS3.) This is because on Monday, the hacker claimed responsibility for taking down many websites housed by GoDaddy. However, on Tuesday, GoDaddy stated that, " The outage was not from external influences." CEO of GoDaddy Scott Wagner says, "It was not a 'hack' and it was not a denial of service attack. We have determined that the service outage was due to a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables..... At no time was any customer data at risk or were any of our systems compromised." The outage took place from about 1 to 7 p.m. on Monday.
