Did doj.gov ever exist? It's not resolving for me. The Department of Justice is at justice.gov.

Edit: The article says it redirects to justice.gov.

justice.gov is not down

What is/was w3.gov? Google gives me nothing useful.

w3.org is hosted at an mit.edu ip address. Could just be an unintended side effect.

It's W3C (WWW Consortium).

Also Google has a neat cache feature for instances like these. Just do the following search:

    cache:w3.org

Quite neat and interestingly,

    cache:doj.gov

Throws a 404 error.

The headline should be w3.org. The website for the World Wide Web Consortium.

Thanks, makes sense.

Hi there! We know MITnet is down, and we're pretty sure its an issue with BGP. We've been having issues periodically over the past few weeks, and this is almost certainly not the result of an attack, just network misconfiguration.
