The web hosting company GoDaddy.com is down and the issue seems to be affecting other websites and servers as well. A member of the hacktivist group Anonymous is claiming responsibility for taking down the site.
A tweet from AnonOpsLegion was sent out earlier today stating that GoDaddy had been taken down by another Anonymous member with the Twitter handle @AnonymousOwn3r.
AnonOpsLegion said in his tweet "#tangodown godaddy.com/ by @AnonymousOwn3r."
AnonOpsLegion later sent a tweet that stated "By using / supporting Godaddy, you are supporting censorship of the Internet."
GoDaddy also sent out a tweet earlier today acknowledging they were aware of the trouble users were having with the site and said they were working to resolve the issue.
