Then I get this in my mail, they claim it was an internal issue.

   
Dear Tom

We owe you a big apology for the intermittent service outages we experienced on September 10 that may have impacted your website, your email and other Go Daddy services.

We let you down and we know it. We take our responsibilities — and the trust you place in us — very seriously. I cannot express how sorry I am to those of you who were inconvenienced.

The service outage was due to a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables. Once the issues were identified, we took corrective actions to restore services for our customers and GoDaddy.com. We have implemented a series of immediate measures to fix the problem.

At no time was any sensitive customer information, including credit card data, passwords or names and addresses, compromised.

Throughout our history, we have provided 99.999% uptime in our DNS infrastructure. This is the level of performance we expect from ourselves. Monday, we fell short of these expectations. We have learned from this event and will use it to drive improvement in our services.

It's an honor to serve you. As always, please call us 24/7 at 480-505-8877 — anytime, for any reason.

Sincerely,

Scott Wagner
CEO
GoDaddy.com

taxed would know more about that then I would.  LOL  That way over my head.

Apparently it was just an opportunist claiming to have hacked them, when he really didn't.

GoDaddy.com became the latest website to possibly incur the wrath of the hacking group Anonymous Monday.

The website domain registrar and hosting company announced on Twitter Monday that it was having problems with the site.

"Status Alert: Hey, all. We're aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We're working on it," GoDaddy said on Twitter.

According to CBS News, GoDaddy email addresses went down as well and the company posted a message on its customer support line saying it was aware of the problem.

Shortly after the site went down, Twitter account that claim to be associated with Anonymous claimed responsibility for the hacker attack.
