So Godaddy did have a major breach and the P.R. teams did an effective job at burying it?

They didn't do much effort, just a straightforward press release from what I understand.
Standard procedure.
It works when you have nothing to worry about.

I've never used Epik but I don't understand all the negativity towards Epik and none towards Godaddy? I guess one has more money and clout than the other. That's just how the world works, unfair but sadly true. Anyway it's Christmas. Who's having a turkey?

That's part of it. But mostly because the hackers of Epik chose to publicly dump the data in multiple dumps over time. And the past public political extremist position of the company's CEO which motivated the hack in the first place. Also RM revealing that the registrar code is old, shitty, and outdated. That didn't help matters. IMHO, registrars are not the best at hosting. Stay away from cheap hosting. Unless its for a personal non-essential site.
