If you were wondering why a lot of websites were down today...

Recommended Posts

Looking forward to seeing the post-mortem on this one. One guy with a grudge really shouldn't be able to do that much damage, and the fact that it happened indicates that there's something seriously wrong at GoDaddy on the security front.

 

Additional Comments:

Update: no hacking after all, just a spectacular screw-up by GoDaddy.
