Where's the "fight back" part?

Yep, and where did the username/password list come form? And how about

"Forty-six states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands have enacted legislation requiring notification of

Knowing GoDaddy abuse, their fight back probably meant they are now billing the
