New Custom Domains Are Broken

Many owners of Blogger blogs - together with nigh owners of Blogger blogs published to non BlogSpot URLs - know the lamentable truth.

Some hackers bring claimed "responsibility", stating that the work is related to their abuse of GoDaddy, together with their DNS service. However, nosotros regime notation that blogs published using both eNom, GoDaddy, together with diverse tertiary political party DNS services are beingness reported amongst this problem.
