FAA Website

Anyone else having trouble getting the FAA Website? It didn't work last night and still isn't working this afternoon? Anybody know what's up?

I have had this problem as well, I get a network error page when trying to access pretty much any information on the site.

Same here. Maybe those "cyber attackers" decided to get the FAA Website this time since they can't really get at the actual planes anymore.

I wouldn't joke about this ... and if you believe we'll never see another aircraft crash due to terrorism, we can only hope, but I'm afraid that is wishful thinking.

Apologize, guess I didn't really mean it to come out that way. I was just speculating since the US and South Korea had some government websites hit recently. Sorry.

NBC news reported the other day that the FAA website was one of the ones that was under a denial of service attack.

I was on the FAA site yesterday afternoon on the airport delays page and got a computer virus 5 minutes later. Not sure if it is related.

Certainly not good. It's been over 24 hours now. That's a long time for a site to be down. Hopefully they get it figured out soon and it doesn't worm its way into some more servers or anything
