GoDaddy, which is the world's largest domain name register and web hosting provider, as well as the world's largest secure sites hosting provider, were experienced intermittent service outages a day ago. The company’s services,
which were down around 10 a.m PDT, had been fully restored by 4 p.m PDT.
As claimed
by GoDaddy in the company’s CEO statement from Scott Wagner, the services’
outage was not caused by any external sources, including hacking activities or Denial-of-Service-Attack
(DDoS). In fact, the service outage was caused by a series of internal network
events that corrupted the company’s router data tables.
No Customer Data Is At Risk
As stated
in the CEO statement, corrective actions had been taken once the issues were
identified, to restore the affected services for GoDaddy company’s website (
GoDaddy.com ) and also their customers’ websites. Also, the company had implemented
measures to prevent the same scenario to be happening again.
In
addition, GoDaddy stressed again that : “At no time was any customer data at
risk or were any of our systems compromised.”
Anonymous Own3r : Source Code and Database
Leaked
Contrarily
to the GoDaddy CEO Statement, a Twitter account named Anonymous Own3r continually
to claim the attacks on GoDaddy.com, as well as their services by a tweet: “Go daddy souce code and database
leaked by @AnonymousOwn3r pastebin.com/WMb4Qg7H".
However,
GoDaddy keeps their notice status on the top of the company’s website as : “
Yesterday, GoDaddy.com and associated customer services experienced
intermittent service outages. At no time was any sensitive customer
information, such as credit card data, passwords or names and address,
compromised.”
Based on the status of the GoDaddy's update, we assumed that the company does not acknowledge the hacking attacks' claim.
