GoDaddy, the internet's largest domain registrar, was hacked on Monday morning by a member of the Anonymous hacking group. Although it was not clear how many websites were affected, "DNS" or Domain Name System, "GoDaddy" and "Anonymous" are trending on Twitter, as thousands of clients and observers comment on the outage.

A hacker identifying himself as the Security leader of Anonymous claimed responsibility shortly after the attack. @AnonymousOwn3r said he hacked GoDaddy because: "I'd like to test how the cyber security is safe and for more reasons that I can not talk now."
