GoDaddy's entire network is down!
Not sure if this impacts any of you, but we have our domains with GoDaddy, and their entire system of DNS servers seems to be unresponsive.
A quick Google search seems to indicate it may be a DoS attack by Anonymous, so that's fun. Hopefully they fix it soon - our entire system (web site, email, everything) is down right now. http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/10/god...ions-of-sites/ |

I'm having problems seeing the pictures section. It diverts me to log in, except to view the last post & page shown on the menu. What would be the prob there?
Also, once I posted, I was directed to the media section and thread titles.

My post was referring to my company - not ChiefsPlanet. So no, nothing you're having trouble with on ChiefsPlanet is related to the GoDaddy issue.

GoDaddy claiming they weren't hacked; it was an internal offer according to spokesperson.

That's what I was wondering. Do those of you who know the industry find this plausible or could it be damage control to maintain consumer confidence/not give the desired credit to the hackers?

It's definitely plausible. I'd say 60/40 that Godaddy is telling the truth... no way to know, nor any real reason to care much.

What I found was odd was that when this started to crop up yesterday I was able to log into the panel and confirm again that my DNS was hosted somewhere other than GoDaddy which made me unaffected. Then later in the day they just put up that parking page. Unless the whole thing was down, they may have prevented some folks from mitigating the damage by trying to put the DNS records somewhere else. (Yes, I know that by the time that it was all sorted that the new entries may not have propagated but whatever. That's not the point.) |

And the thread of folks complaining isn't from malware infections from XSS. Nobody is getting infected. It's from people posting pics from sites known to host malware. Pics are getting flagged simply because of where they came from. There's no scripting going on.
