MySpace Muscle: “On the morning of Jan. 24, Fyodor Vaskovich awoke to discover that his Web site, SecLists.org, had been transformed into a giant error message… He checked with the registrar that sold him his site, GoDaddy, and discovered the megacorporation had changed the site’s name servers… At last he learned that SecLists had been yanked offline because MySpace contacted GoDaddy and requested it.” Essentially, MySpace had used its power to get GoDaddy to shut down Vaskovich’s site, and a GoDaddy spokeswoman has said he was lucky to receive any notice at all. Scary stuff for website owners.
