The GoDaddy, the largest domain registrar in the world, faced instability on its servers on the afternoon of Monday. With more than 45 million domains under management, the problem caused the unavailability of a large number of sites. A member of the hacker group Anonymous claims to be behind the alleged attack.
At the time of writing this report, the site of GoDaddy is unstable - it works for some, not for others. Through the official Twitter account, the company said it is "aware of the problem that people are having" and works to solve the case, but does not disclose exactly where the fault is. Website owners who use the DNS service GoDaddy report access problems.
A user identified as Anonymous Own3r, with just over 900 followers on Twitter, says he was responsible for the overthrow of the GoDaddy servers. In a later tweet, the member turns out to be Brazilian. The attack had been made on his own and was not published in popular channels of Anonymous, as YourAnonNews (over 600,000 followers) and AnonOps (with nearly 300,000 followers).
An editor of The Next Web says he noticed the problem when the platform was unavailable Convo - it is used for internal communication between team members. Strangely, the Convo continued working for some publishers. TechCrunch reports that GoDaddy's email services are also unavailable.
