    Apparently you didn't read the details....
    Twitter user Anonymous Own3r claimed credit for the attack, and was quick to distance himself from the hacking collective that goes by a similar name.
    "It is not Anonymous collective it's only me. Don't use Anonymous collective name on it, just my name," he wrote, shortly after claiming responsibility.

    As to why - a lot of people have a lot of reasons not to like Go Daddy - Google is your friend - but they are about as popular as a 12 pint and vindaloo fart in a lift when it comes to customer service. Apparently, I have had no dealings with them, they make DSG look competent and caring.

    None. Because nobody with half a brain would run a serious website with them.

    That's as maybe but as he states this is a personal project and not by the collective.

    a certain company who spams the crud out of a certain music forum I go on, uses godaddy to hide their true address.. which is what I gather a lot more do.

    so have no sympathy for-em
