Go Daddy: Network Issues, Not Hacks Or DDoS, Caused Downtime 143
miller60 writes "GoDaddy says yesterday's downtime was caused by internal network problems that corrupted data in router tables. 'The service outage was not caused by external influences,' said Scott Wagner, Go Daddy's Interim CEO. 'It was not a 'hack' and it was not a denial of service attack (DDoS). ... At no time was any customer data at risk or were any of our systems compromised.' The outage lasted for at least six hours, and affected web sites and email for customers of the huge domain registrar."

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to GoDaddy's incompetence just as easily.

If one "anonymous" person could take down 5 million websites then we might as well give up on the Internets ...
Then again it could have been one GoDaddy Admin who accidentally misconfigured the routing tables that caused all of this ... I'd probably want to be anonymous if I was that person as well ...
