    "The digital service provider is currently experiencing technical
    difficulties and working to resolve the situation. According to the
    company, the extended outage is due to apparent cybersecurity issues
    [emphasis added], and their team is working around the clock to restore operations."

    "The company cannot estimate exactly when full access to comics, puzzles
    and columns will be restored. We will update this article as we receive
    more details."

    Scott Adams mentioned in his daily audio blog that Dilbert's DNS got
    stolen but there is apparently other problems also.

    GoComics seems to be back now.

    When I try to sign in after clearing cookies and browsing data I get a "This page isn't working" message. I hope they resolve this as soon as possible.

    I didn't do any of that, and it was just fine. I've been reading and
    posting comments. Some have reported clearing cache and waiting a half
    hour.
