Member of Anonymous hacks GoDaddy - millions of websites down

A GoDaddy outage has taken down millions of website and a member of the hackers organization Anonymous is claiming responsibility.

The member, Anonymous Own3r is writing about it on hit Twitter account, claiming he is acting on his own and not as a representative of Anonymous tweeting:

“I’m taking godaddy down bacause well i’d like to test how the cyber security is safe and for more reasons that i can not talk now”

According to TechCrunch

“the technical reason for the failure is being caused by the inaccessibility of GoDaddy’s DNS servers — specifically CNS1.SECURESERVER.NET, CNS2.SECURESERVER.NET, and CNS3.SECURESERVER.NET are failing to resolve. AnonymousOwn3r’s bio reads “Security leader of #Anonymous (~Official member~).” The individual claims to be from Brazil, and hasn’t issued a statement as to why GoDaddy was targeted. Last year GoDaddy was pressured into opposing SOPA as customers transferred domains off the service. However, AnonymousOwn3r has tweeted “I’m not anti go daddy, you guys will undestand because i did this attack.”

There is also a video that Anonymous Own3r is linking to that you can see below.
