And it would be almost kind of ok if they actually said, hey, we're victims here too... instead of their actual ongoing response to their customers of "it's not our problem".

Yes, publicly they are making some (very limited) concessions that this is an issue they need to deal with, but I am still hearing about customers getting 0 help from GoDaddy's support. Even when they did admit to the problem not being the customer's faults they tried watering it down with "well, look... it's not just us. Other hosts got hit too".

The other hosts, however, aren't laying claim to being the "world's largest hosting provider", nor are they spending millions on the next Super Bowl commercial that might better be spent on, oh, I don't know... maybe fixing the problem...?

Once, sure they are victims.

After 3 times, plus all the other security issues that have been raised about godaddy, this is incompetence, not victimhood.

I would suggest changing those so they aren't active hyperlinks.

Good idea, fixed.
