Anonymous Got Us!

In case you were wondering why the website was down yesterday, so was I. It seems that a hacker who called himself “anonymous3” somehow got into GoDaddy’s main servers, and took the whole thing (including e-mail accounts) down for most of the day. The motive may have had to do with his dislike of the CEO of GoDaddy, who claims he likes to hunt elephants and treats famous race car drivers as objects. I can’t say I’m an admirer either, but some of the community organizations we work with at Adler School also lost their sites. These nonprofits use GoDaddy for the same reason I do: it’s cheap.

Maybe you get what you pay for. Better security would be nice. Instead of elephant hunting.
