Bomb Threat, Sextortion Spammers Abused Weakness at GoDaddy.com

Two of the most disruptive and widely-received spam email campaigns over the past few months -- including an ongoing sextortion email scam and a bomb threat hoax that shut down dozens of schools, businesses and government buildings late last year -- were made possible thanks to an authentication weakness at GoDaddy.com, the world's largest domain name registrar, KrebsOnSecurity has learned.
