According to that article, the problem was at GoDaddy. No sites other than
GoDaddy sites were compromised. Microsoft looked into the report and
stated that it wasn't a microsoft problem. GoDaddy's PR person refused to
actually answer the question and just weaseled around and claimed no
GoDaddy custers were effected, despite obvious evidence otherwise.
So please, Roy. Stop being so dishonest with your summaries.
