Update: GoDaddy says service is completely restored, and that the outage was not the result of a hack. Full statement here.
As previously reported, GoDaddy is experiencing some downtime, and a member of Anonymous is taking credit (though only on behalf of himself).
More on this developing story here.
When asked on Twitter how long he plans for this to go on, Anonymous Own3r indicated that it could last for one hour or for one month. Here’s the exchange:
@film_girl I’m taking godaddy down bacause well i’d like to test how the cyber security is safe and for more reasons that i can not talk now
@AnonymousOwn3r How long do you plan for this to go on?
@film_girl when i do some DDOS attack i like to let it down by many days , the attack for unlimited time, it can last one hour or one month
GoDaddy has tweeted that it is aware of the situation, and is working on it. It will be interesting to see how long it actually does go on. Meanwhile, people just want their sites to work so they can get on with business as usual.
