That's not even a WTF, really. It's fairly obvious why it happened, and similar things have been done before by people working under the Anonymous name-umbrella. I'll refrain from celebrating a company that supported SOPA/PIPA getting what was coming to them being attacked, though.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It's WTF because I don't think Anonymous has ever accomplished something this big before. GoDaddy is a major player in the domain registry business, and Anon took the whole thing down.

I just found out that I can make some really, really fuckin' weird noises with my mic, without doing too much.

by server level yes thats fricking huge. i shudder to what happens they go after google. My offensive web security idea keeps getting better everyday

[Aklyon]

They'd need a reason to go after google, though.

well they are starting to downrank any torrent sites that have complaints flagged against them.

Google sells people's data and collaborates with authoritarian regimes to censor search results. Anonymous generally likes privacy and doesn't like censorship.

Dismal Falls, Bland County. No need to visit the link but who names these places?

[Karlito]

If its Master Quest then the cows are suppose to be there

Still a WTF.

Today, Anonymous took down every GoDaddy site on Earth.

So apparently going by that link.

Main Godaddy site: Still active and working. Sites of innocent customers: Fucked up.

Way to go internet freedom fighters. Really sticking it to the man there.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm pretty sure that's entirely what they intended. The objective here is to make GoDaddy lose business because they supported SOPA.

[Aklyon]

Or it could just be 'Hey, godaddy supported SOPA, lets be late and attack it some months afterward to remind them.'

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean more than actually taking down the sites homepage? I mean, their site is just a poster for their operations. They attacked their operations. Sure, some innocent people were inconvenienced, but they've certainly scared the shit outta me for one by demonstrating they can cripple the entire business rather than just rip down the poster in front of it. Uh... who hosts B12 by the way? I'm a little worried now.

(not condoning it and you're 100% right that it's wrong to all the wrong people, just saying if they wanted to impress me they have)

Alright. Sure. But why hurt innocents? I mean, if they really wanted to make a statement or whatever why not go after the main site? Sure, GoDaddy loses face from this, but not more then if their main site was lost. I can understand why GoDaddy was targeted, I just think the actions taken were stupid and not really helpful.

Maybe? If they were really after scaring average random people though I would say that makes them even stupider.

[Aklyon]

No one ever said Anon was there to make a sound point, with not much in the way of stupid. Anon is there to mess up things and be generally confusing to everyone on tv news. Usually.
