The confederacy of malicious hackers known as Anonymous brought down websites across the globe yesterday, including MassDevice.com, when 1 of its members brought down the massive web host called GoDaddy.com.
The GoDaddy site was down for several hours yesterday, along with an untold number of sites owned by its 10.5 million customers, according to the New York Times.
Responsibility for the "distributed denial-of-service" attack that crippled GoDaddy’s servers with a barrage of traffic was claimed by Twitter account @AnonymousOwn3r.
