No, isn't that an old Western/NYC cop show I've seen in reruns? You know, the Marshall from Taos, NM 'on semi-permanent "special assignment" with the New York City Police Department.' |

Can't count how many times we've had clients ask, "Shouldn't we put that on The Cloud?"
I've taken to responding by asking them what they think the cloud actually is. To-date, not a one has even tried to answer the question. |

GoDaddy spokeswoman Elizabeth Driscoll said the outage began shortly after 1 p.m. EDT. By around 5:50 p.m. EDT, the GoDaddy.com website and sites hosted by the company were back up and running. Driscoll had said the company was investigating the cause.
She also said she could not say how many sites were affected, whether it was thousands or millions, or whether the outage had affected just sites hosted by Go Daddy or those who use its DNS services as well.

GoDaddy's DNS Service is Down

Amid Outage, GoDaddy Moves DNS to Competitor VeriSign
DNS servers at the company’s U.S. data center were hit, but servers in Asia continued to operate normally.

Rialto, CA | Wow! If the servers were actually down because of an attack, then any other DNS provider could be next. That is an ominous possibility.

I wonder if they are running their DNS on Windows servers like the rest of their stuff. More reason not to use them, IMHO. |

While determining the root cause may require forensic analysis and take a long time you would expect that the extend of the damage (unavailable or impaired services) would be known almost immediately (due to network monitoring).
It is not exactly confidence inspiring if a day after a major incident a service provider still doesn't know which of its services are (or have been) unavailable.

Telling people that they don't have all the information is not the same as them not having any idea what happened; when there is a lot of smoke and fire, there's essentially no upside for giving this kind of detail because in the end this information will almost always have parts that are substantially wrong. Wait until the dust settles and you have a substantial handle on everything before saying too much. Incident Response 101.
But they're now saying it wasn't a hack, but an internal network issue.

What makes you think the GoDaddy DNS zone is authoritative for all 53 million names they have registered?

said by leibold:said by Name Game: Since GoDaddy is the authority record for all the domains in their DNS zone that is a big hit..53 million ? I have trouble understanding what you are trying to say. With "authority record" are you referring to the SOA (start of authority) record in each DNS zone file or do you mean something else (perhaps DNSSEC related which also has the concept of authorities) ? I have similar difficulty with "all the domains in their DNS zone". If you what you trying to say is that all of GoDaddy's customers lost their DNS service then that is clearly not the case. Anybody that is only using GoDaddy as a domain registry and uses his/her own servers for web, email and dns will not be effected by this (other then the inability to make any changes to their accounts). Nevertheless this is a big deal and a lot of GoDaddy's clients are likely using them not just as domain registry but also as DNS provider. GoDaddy goes down, Anonymous member takes creditPopular domain name registrar and Web and email hosting provider GoDaddy is experiencing a severe outage, one that appears to have taken out not only its hosted services, but even those websites that have registered their domain names through GoDaddy.
Background
Users started noticing the troubles in the late morning Eastern Time. Customers with GoDaddy-hosted email accounts and websites noticed the outage, as did at least some users who had registered their domain names with GoDaddy, even though their sites are actually hosted elsewhere. When pinged, websites registered with GoDaddy receive only a "ping request could not find host," message. The GoDaddy.com site itself went offline.
GoDaddy claims to be the world's largest domain name registrar. The company reportedly manages more than 48 million domain names and serves more than 9.3 million customers. » www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/a···dit.html--

I understand they were down, but has anyone verified it was anon, or even a member of the organization, as it seems to me it was someone acting on their own just before 9/11 (on that note - My sympathy goes out to the families involved).......does anyone wonder if there is more to be published if there is a network hole in GoDaddy, or we will all be seeing lock down on the Internet due to terrorist activity?
Don't get me wrong, but this one is one of the weirdest Internet issues to date. Mass hysteria with no real back bone...call me skeptical until the juice is out of the bottle.
It is already a very sensitive time for so many.
