    No, nothing to do with the Not606, only the host. They've only knocked out the servers, not done anything to any of the information on the servers. So godaddy customers info will also be safe.

    I did read a good article int colour supplement of the Guardian this week on "anon" and "lulzsec", quite a good read. It made the point of how much the school system had failed these kids. There was the one kid famous for hacking the CIA and various other 'high security' sites, these sites would have some the brainiest and best paid programmers in the world, as well as technology far ahead of anything on the market, working on making these sites secure and some 17 year old can hack into them from his bedroom, the most amazing part was that he didn't have a single GCSE.
