>> a misconfigured domain name system service at GoDaddy allowed hackers to hijack dozens of websites owned by Expedia, Yelp, Mozilla, and others..

Any idea what was the impact on Mozilla ? Did it impact the Firefox and plugin servers ?



I can't speak for Mozilla, but I wouldn't be surprised to see GoDaddy and others used for non-core stuff.

The registrar for mozilla.org is MarkMonitor. I'd guess that most (if not all) of their big name/public facing domains are done through MarkMonitor.

Domains used for testing or marketing purposes might be done through GoDaddy and others. This is a fairly common pattern.
