A lone hacker has claimed responsibility for an ongoing denial-of-service attack that may have knocked out as many as millions of websites hosted by popular domain registrar GoDaddy.The attack began at around 10am Pacific time and appears to affect the registrar's DNS servers. Any site that is hosted with GoDaddy could be affected, although as of 1pm Pacific the company reported that at least some service had been restored.Claiming responsibility for the outage is a hacker who goes by the Twitter handle AnonymousOwn3r [1]. Although that account's Twitter bio describes the hacker as "Security leader of #Anonymous" and "Anonymous Official member," a number of Twitter feeds affiliated with the hacker collective say that Anonymous was not involved, and AnonymousOwn3r himself has called for sole credit.So far, no reason for the attack has been given, although speculation abounds. GoDaddy has earned its share of detractors for various reasons, ranging from its early support [2] for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the US, to GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons posting a video of himself shooting an elephant [3] while on a Zimbabwe safari vacation.According to AnonymousOwn3r, however, he "is not anti-GoDaddy" and the attack was not motivated by any of these reasons, but instead simply to point out flaws in the registrar's security:
And yet they will still make a commercial about this.
