Twitter user Anonymous Own3r claimed credit for the attack, and was quick to distance himself from the hacking collective that goes by a similar name. "It is not Anonymous collective it's only me. Don't use Anonymous collective name on it, just my name," he wrote, shortly after claiming responsibility.
GoDaddy's own site came back into service late Monday afternoon. But Ghosh and Invincea are particularly sensitive to the problem; as a GoDaddy customer, his site is down.
“Our website is down, any emails sent to Invincea aren’t going to make it.”
By taking down the servers at just a single key service providers, those responsible took down a lot of properties, he noted. And infrastructure needs to be made less vulnerable to these types of attacks.
GoDaddy Girls look a like 'Okama' :))
