GoDaddy’s most recent brush with controversy came thanks to its temporary support for SOPA. The company faced boycotts and mass-transfers before finally agreeing to pull its support from the controversial bill. None of that had very much impact on GoDaddy’s sales. But Monday’s attack is different. DDoS attacks can happen to anyone, but the problem for GoDaddy is that it happened to them — and the company had, apparently, no reliable emergency plan.

Monday has not been the best of days for GoDaddy or its millions of customers. Thanks to what appears to be a distributed denial of service attack against the world’s largest domain registrar, the company’s DNS servers are down. With them went an untold number of websites.

Customers are understandably livid that their sites — for many, their entire livelihoods — are on pause. Much of the online anger is currently directed at Anonymous Own3r, the self-proclaimed security leader of Anonymous (to be clear, Anonymous is not taking any responsibility for this attack and Own3r says he is acting solely as himself). Users will retrieve their websites and mail servers.
