Anonymous to attack GoDaddy
 

Anonymous plans on attacking GoDaddy for their support of SOPA and for making it very hard to leave. GoDaddy's response to the pending boycott has been to require many people to scan or fax a copy of their Photo ID in order to leave.

I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Leave?

Leave - Verb - Meaning to go away from.

lol :p

Yes, GoDaddy is trying to make it hard for customers to jump ship.

I'll be damned if I'm going to pass on a copy of my ID to GoDaddy to terminate their services. I have a domain registered through them. It's simple enough to move that to another registrar or let it expire and start over with another name.

My swing on this is if enough of GD's client base moved their domains to other registrars, their bottom line would suffer dramatically. Hit where it hurts, their profits.

This could become highly amusing. If GD gets hit so hard that its made an example for all other companies to fear, then that may be effective.

um i would rather prefer godad not to be hacked - all my possessions there

when are they planning to attack and what sorts of attack ?

DOS/DDOS is not hacked your information is safe you just might not be able to get to it for a bit :P

I know of a a GD server that is being attacked as we speak!

DDOS

Note: i have nothing to do with anonymous or any other faction!

Godaddy's home page was temporary defaced (site was hacked).

Godaddy has been DDOS a few times now since this original post was made.

It's on going...

I would suggest another provider.

Thought GD it is one of the best hosting companies. Sure are very good hackers out there but still GD should have a very good defense.
Have my site hosted with them!!!! :(

Anonymous has successfully DDOS

The White House
The Department of Justice
The Department of Defense
Home Land Security
The Library of Congress
The Pentagon
The FBI
The CIA

Has successfully hacked

The FBI
The CIA
Over 100 town police sites


And those are only The American side of things out of the 10,000+ other targets around the world.

Do you really think Godaddy would pose a problem for Anonymous? :confused:

The on going attack is in direct result to Godaddy's support for Protect IP, SOPA, and their support for ACTA. The attacks originally started though, when their CEO celebrated killing an elephant for sport & posted photos and video of this as bragging rights.

At this time Anonymous hasn't attacked the customer side of things as it is greatly believed that the unknowing and innocent customers shouldn't be forced to suffer for the poor actions of Godaddy.

So the attacks have been directly on Godaddy.com and the back-end to prevent new customers from signing up. Sometimes even being re-directed to other domain registers.

I agree 120% with this target.

Well, about 2 hours ago my site it is not up anymore.

Anyone trusting godaddy has NO idea about the domain and hosting industry. They are the last company you should be getting services from.

Amen to that. Good observation.
