sobercuban Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-57509744-501465/godaddy-goes-down-anonymous-claims-responsibility/ (CBS News) GoDaddy, the domain registrar and Web hosting company, is down, perhaps taking millions of websites down as a result. "Status Alert: Hey, all. We're aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We're working on it," @GoDaddy tweeted Monday. A quick call to the company's customer service line resulted in this voice message: "If you are having a problem with your email, we are aware of the problem." TechCrunch reports that GoDaddy email addresses are down, as well. The blog suggests customers concerned with that their site has been affected can check online status at Down For Everyone Or Just Me. Twitter accounts claiming to be associated with the hacking group Anonymous claimed responsibility for the attack. "Basically, every GoDaddy site on the planet just crashed," @TibitXimer tweeted. "#TangoDown - godaddy.com," @AnonOpsLegion tweeted Monday, claiming that the Twitter account @AnonymousOwn3r was responsible for the breach. "TangoDown" is the term that Anonymous generally uses to signify that a website is down. "By using / supporting Godaddy, you are supporting censorship of the Internet," @AnonOpsLegion tweeted again later. GoDaddy was the target of protests after it was discovered that the company supported unpopular bills the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). GoDaddy did not immediately respond to CBS News' request for comment. Great.... this is ****ing irritating ...

Rakenshi1243 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 So you guys are claiming that Anonymous is just a bunch of 15 year olds? Have you guys even visited 4Chan? I'm assuming that's a no. The website is a breeding ground for ****ing freaks, it's visited by countless of people on a daily basis. While most of Anonymous are brats, there are serious hackers involved too.

StompGrind Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 There will always be vulnerabilities and people savvy enough to exploit them. Flooding a site with enough drones until it crashes isn't all that sophisticated from what i understand and i don't think it can be prevented so easily. The few people actually behind doing it and remaining undetected does require some sophistication as does actually hacking sensitive info and remaining undetected. I don't really support Anon's stance or actions on alot of things but in a sense i view them as a necessary evil and they have brought stories to light that needed not remain in the dark.

They are trying to expose the larger company for what it is to its clients, small people go offline, they complain to their provider. the provider says 'hacker's pulled us down' they ask WHY... and get a dodgy answer, they (hopefully) research the WHY and find out the facts - and providing these people have a mind of their own - they change to a provider without such proclivities.
