An outage to popular Internet registrar GoDaddy.com that took thousands of websites offline for several hours Monday was the result of internal network events, not a malicious hacker, the company said on Tuesday.

The incident, which lasted from shortly after 10 a.m. PDT to 4 p.m. PDT, was due to a corruption of network router tables, said interim CEO Scott Wagner.
