Anonymous to attack GoDaddy

[OldSchoolDSL]

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?

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.

The below is quoted word for word from the wiki article. Used without permission. (So sue me...)

On December 22, Go Daddy, the world's largest domain name registrar, stated that it supports SOPA.[73] This prompted users from Reddit to organize a boycott.[74] [75] In addition, Jimmy Wales announced he would transfer all Wikimedia domains from Go Daddy.[76] The same day, Go Daddy rescinded their support, with its CEO saying, "Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation - but we can clearly do better... Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it."[77]

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.

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

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

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!!!!
