I just came across this as a possible explanation for the SI outage this morning. Yes, I have read Brad's reply, but that may be a cover story. SI could have just gone to Infocon alert level Delta

The threat of potentially crippling electronic attacks prompted the U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., to set up a new alert system similar to the Defcon - defense condition - levels used to prepare U.S. forces for nuclear war.

The Infocon alerts range from Normal to Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta - the highest alert state. At each level, various security steps are taken to minimize possible attacks, such as disconnecting from the Internet and monitoring networks full time.
