Go Daddy shuts down site hosting illegal content.
Posted on January 27, 2007
A couple days ago MySpace officials demanded that Go Daddy shut down Seclists.org, which hosts roughly 250,000 pages of mailing list archives and other resources, because there was a list of thousands of MySpace account login information archived on the site. Go Daddy complied and pulled the plug on the site. The site was inaccessible for about 7 hours until the site owner of Seclists.org, Fyodor Vaskovich, found out what was going on and removed the lists. In a Go Daddy response, the Director of Network Abuse, Ben Butler, “As we have said to our customers - Go Daddy is committed to keeping the Internet a safe place. If there is material online that is jeopardizing Internet safety, we will take necessary action.”
What is GoDaddyRocks.com’s response on this? We think Go Daddy made a great decision. These password lists were compromising the safety of MySpace users and Go Daddy took the appropriate action by shutting down the site. Thanks Go Daddy for making the internet a safer place!
