Believe it for not ... it was not a cyber attack, but rather a series of technical problems. Right!

"Technical problems that caused thousands of websites hosted by GoDaddy to go down were not caused by an external attack, the firm has said. The company, one of the world's biggest domain registrars and web hosts, suffered intermittent faults for about six hours on Monday.

Early reports suggested a member of hacking collective Anonymous had been behind the down time. But the company blamed a "series of internal network events".

"At no time was any customer data at risk or were any of our systems compromised," the site's chief executive Scott Wagner said in a press release issued on Tuesday. "The service outage was not caused by external influences. It was not a 'hack' and it was not a denial of service attack."
