GoDaddy Whacked By DDoS Attack

The Go Daddy Group Inc has been hit by a massive distributed denial of service attack that took down many of its customers’ websites and other services for several hours. The company, the largest registrar of internet domain names and one of the largest web hosting providers, said it was the subject of “large-scale, sophisticated attacks” that lasted four to five hours.

Those who thought this was a DST screwup were wrong apparently. Some clever hacker just picked the “right” time to DDoS GoDaddy.
