Who knows. Seems foolish to make it look like your site failed, though.

It is Target. We know how they tend to be with technology.

But does that make it more likely that they accidentally made themselves look like they went down, or they actually did?

My end can't create an access denied message from their server. And I'm not the one that found it, I just tested it and posted about it.

@scottalanmiller Maybe they blocked your IP address by APache.

Likely, but a foolish move as it makes local shoppers that are traveling have to switch to their competition to have things shipped even to US addresses and makes it look like they have failed - consideration a reputation for tech problems, not something that you want. Anyway, I contacted them to see if it's an accident. Maybe their regional servers are down.

In a quick search, there were people complaining about this error message a few months ago from inside the US with US IP addresses.

Target said that there can be issues from overseas, even though they do business here. But their site started working. So the issue was temporary. But did last about an hour I think.

Legoland waterpark... done with that part for today, its a little too chilly for them.

Whoot - the joy of Servers...

6pm maintenance window... Reboot the server to see if it has new updates to reboot again.
sign I need an intern.

60 minutes later,... still rolling... the 'longest' part is yet to come.. restarting the HOST machine... ugh... that one always puts me on edge.
