Re: Fix Yer Servers Sheesh, look who's ignorant...
What he is describing has NOTHING to do with what godaddy did, but it has ALL TO DO with whether or not Nectar's Data center goes offline. As most of their customers' domains use nectartech.com as nameservers, failure of the nectartech domain causes failure of all other domains. These other domains would not have had to fail if they had extra nameservers set to domains NOT controlled by GoDaddy.
In addition, it seems clear to me that phishing sites DID exist on the nectartech.com domain. It was on a customer's machine, but that machine had a NECTARTECH.COM DOMAIN!
Nectartech
1. obviously did not take the vulnerability down fast enough.
2. did not follow the directions given in GoDaddy's email AFTER they were shut down (because they kept saying it took too long that way)
3. should not have allowed the entire data center's other domains to rely on one single domain anyway
There is a second part to this phone call where you see this marc person just being an ass. The representative keeps asking him to read the email and follow the instructions and they will reinstate his domain. But he refuses to do as told, and keeps whining at them to "PUT IT BACK UP IMMEDIATELY!!" "IT'S AN EMMMMERGENCY!!" "IT'S AN EMMEEEERGENCY!!"
Why, Marc, didn't you just do as you were told?
GoDaddy had all the right to shut down the domain:
1. Phishing website is on "nectartech.com" domain name. You can see this on the page marc published the emails.
2. Godaddy says the site was not removed.
3. Godaddy shuts down website.
It does not MATTER that it was a customer's website. The offending site USED THE NECTARTECH.COM DOMAIN! If the offending website was on NectarPuke.com and they shut down nectartech.com, that would be GoDaddy's fault. From what I see, it is not. |
