Godaddy, situs penyedia layanan hosting yang mengampu 53 juta situs dan domain, dikhabarkan down dan ribuan pengguna DNS dari GoDaddy tidak bisa di akses. Mashable dan lain-lain melaporkan hal yang sama tentang kejadian tersebut. Salah seorang dari kelompok hacker Anonymous, @AnonymousOwn3r mengatakan bahwa dia yang bertanggung jawab dan menyebabkan kacaunya sistem DNS GoDaddy yang menyebabkan ribuan situs internet tak bisa diakses.

Dikabarkan di CNN bahwa Godaddy memberikan respon:
"Status Alert: Hey, all. We're aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We're working on it," GoDaddy said.
"It is not just your site," one apparent client wrote in response to that message. "It is EVERYTHING anyone has hosted with you.... from email to websites...."
GoDaddy also apologized to its customers.
@godaddy it is not just your site, it is EVERYTHING anyone has hosted with you.... from email to websites....

Dan akhirnya setelah beberapa jam, GoDaddy berhasil mengatasi masalah ini pada Senin sore jam 3.14 waktu setempat, dan beberapa menit kemudian mengeluarkan pemberitahuan:
Update: Still working on it, but we're making progress. Some service has already been restored. Stick with us.
