ZDnet taken down?

Today I have been getting my newletters from zdnet,\
but I cannot connect to their site.
The links in the email newletters are broken.
Web-browser won't connect either from google searches, or from copied links.
All other web browser activity seems normal.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Works for me, what domain name are you trying to access?

Not so fast... apparently there was a problem indeed that affected many users and businesses in the Silicon Valley area:

zdnet is back up

I wonder if they had a service outage for a while.
Whether external malware/D.O.S. or internal (maintenance).
Either way at the time I posted...
I had been unable to connect for about 30 minutes.
Today, all links are working... including links from newsletters.

Edit...
Julio's last note looks like the answer!
