Question about DU going down

Is this something that can be controlled and there's a glitch? Or is someone trying to hack and/or attack DU?

I saw it was said that "Our ISP had some kind of network issue." Quoting Skinner. But I have absolutely no clue what that means.

I am sorry. When it comes to this stuff, I am completely ignorant.

By the way, I used the site you posted for the last time we were down. .much easier than waiting forever to see if you get on! Thanks again!
