After
an Anonymous hacker took credit for an interruption of service to a
giant company that provides on-line services to some 5 million
websites, the company's executives denied they had lost any credit
card or customers' personal information such as passwords.
Domain
Name Service (DNS) interruption began in late midmorning, at about
10:20 PDT, according to Elizabeth L. Driscoll, vice president for
public relations. By mid-afternoon, the problem had been contained
and service restored, according to a series of Tweets issued to
customers to keep them posted.
The
largest registrar of domains and websites in the world, the service's
chief executive apologized and promised his customers a token of his
appreciation in the near future, something he termed as a “gesture
of good faith” in acknowledgement of the service interruption.
