Obviously the explanation of the incident had to be consumed by the
general public, however we encountered an unknown bug that was found
which started the domino effect. Aside from this group, that level of
detail wouldn't be understood by a majority of the recipients.

With that said, please feel free to take this off list with Jason or
Myself.

No information has been provided on what sort of "unknown bug" this
was.  A bug in code that GoDaddy wrote?  A bug in their route servers
or router OS, which others may also use and might want to be aware of?
