Monday’s meltdown of Web sites hosted by GoDaddy.com was due not to Anonymous-linked hackers but to failures of the company’s own systems, the company said Tuesday.
A statement posted online by interim CEO Scott Wagner, said the service outage “was not caused by external influences. It was not a ‘hack’ and it was not a denial of service attack (DDoS).”
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
