The GoComics service continues to be down. They posted this announcement on Facebook.
“Cybersecurity issues.” Hmm…

There has been speculation that it’s actually an attack against Dilbert.com, but as Scott Adams explained today, he has a Domain Name issue. GoComics.com resolves to its IP address, but it doesn’t reply to a ping request. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a nefarious entity out to get Adams and is behind both outages.

Update: Comics Kingdom says they also had trouble staying online, but they’ve been okay most of the day.
