The US Treasury Website Has Been Down (For Some) For 10 Hours And Counting
UPDATE: It appears the site is up for some (premium members?)
When we first noticed, we assumed Treasury.gov was down for un-scheduled maintenance, but now, 10 hours later, it appears the site is down for other reasons? Overwhelmed by NSA DDoS attacks (as government pension funds seek more information on where their investments are heading)? Sequestration claimed the Webmaster? Hacked? Or simply the first cost-cutting measure for a Fed who just suffered their largest loss ever in a quarter (of course, that is, if they were bound by 'normal' mark-to-market rules). There are no explanations as yet.

Dark.. Bitchez.
works for me just fine
mark to market? the FED? Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ooops.
Let's just hope this doesn't happen when the gold price begins to take off, otherwise there'll be no one around to stop it...
Disclaimer: I think the NSA and Obama are just fuckin' peachy...
Cyberattack by the EU?
Pay me 12% and I'll consider buying this high risk debt.
Lack of "aggregrate demand" for treasuries leading to business decision to quit paying GoDaddy.com domain hosting?
Go fetch that electronic printing press, and cut a damn debt instrument, Bernank!
Sequester,Bitchez!

No...it's what you get with nepotism and hiring family to 'take care' of infrastructre instead of hiring pros. Silver spoon doesn't mean smart. Just means someone fell out of the right woman.
Checked it at 3:27 EST, it's down.
Yup, it is working now. Had me worried. What would we do without a Treasury Department?
Live free and prosperously?
Didn't work for me. Could it be traffic is high?
Fat finger
Fiat finger....fixed it for ya.
Doesn't work for me but I find it interesting that the server for treasury.org is located in the UK! WTF is that all about?

Probably using a redundant site I place of the primary one that got hacked and destroyed.
They were water boarding the IT technician and somebody slipped in the water tripping over the battery that had current running thru his balls taking down main service panel. IT was a an EMB, bitchez

They watching porn too?
They have to peddle to fast to get that kinda hertz
Looks fine to me
All is well. Summer intern back on duty.
Ha...Doody...Ha
annd Poof..... it's Gone
If we have learned anything, the Fed and Treasury explain nothing. Ask them no questions and they tell no lies.

Unable to pay hosting, credit lines are fucked?
forgot to pay their electrical bill. again.
I found it just fine... You all got my hopes up.
Does not work for me at 1:40 pm EST.
Worked for me. The "Tarp Tracker" was the first thing to pop up. What a sham.
Hosting company demanded payment in gold?
With Chalky's $100 mil price tab for his trip to the dark continent, something has to go. Attention sheeple; we must have our photo ops.

Worth repeating. There is no such thing as a "FED loss", not in REAL terms, anyway. Their cost basis was zero to print the money they used to buy the assets, so they are ahead unless the assets go to zero, in which case they are breakeven. If you want to know who took the losses in REAL terms, look in the mirror.
absolutely.
Has anyone called NSA Customer Support?
Do you have a number handy?

Did you say down for 10 hours?
Wait till it's down for 10 days.
Or wait until it goes down and never comes up again.
As part of our budget-cutting regime, we've moved all communications to this vintage acoustic-coupled 300 baud modem and 6502 8-bit computer.
The Commodore C-64 was one of the best computers of all time!
Doesn't matter. Print and pay. Why even bother to account for anything at the fiat level? Big banks may need accounting to make sure regulators aren't fining them more than they made on the drug money laundering, but for the Treasury, let's just call it even and not bother with the paperwork.
A Treasury website seems a little redundant.
That's a globalist website. The US no longer has a Treasury.
Well when King Obama spends $100 million of out tax dollars to trek off to Africa, the government has to make up for it somewhere. Just how many more of out tax dollars is Obama going to promise those Africans who are now in the process of wiping out the white population. Of course this part of the news is never covered by our liberal media.
Thar she blows! http://shutupnsing.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/what-if-melville-were-alive-today/
It's Sunday, man. What govvie worker you know is gonna come in and reboot the server on a Sunday? Tomorrow for sure. 10am, latest. Maybe by early afternoon.
You want an explanation? Here's Ace Ventura with your explanation: "Wait here. If I'm not back in 10 minutes...... just wait longer."
Isn't this the downtime maintenance window?
dont worry the plague that will end it all is coming.

Fears new deadly virus in Middle East could go global as millions prepare to visit the region for annual pilgrimage
Health officials in Saudi Arabia prepare for Hajj pilgrimage this autumn
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome currently causing concern in area
Deadly new virus is believed to be even more dangerous than SARS
Millions from across globe are preparing to visit region for pilgrimage
There have been 77 laboratory-confirmed infections as of June 26. A total of 62 of these cases have been in Saudi Arabia, where 34 of the victims have died.
The disease, which can spread easily between people, has been compared to SARS, which killed 800 people during an outbreak in 2003. Some experts have noted resemblances between the two as both spread easily between hospitals.
Symptoms are also similar with a fever and cough that develops into pneumonia.
But, doctors note that the fatality rate is higher. Eight per cent of SARS patients died, while 65 per cent of MERS cases are believed to have been fatal.
Maybe yes, maybe no. Maybe this IS "The Big One", maybe not.
But rest assured that one day it WILL happen, and the longer we remain complacent the worse the outcome for everyone.
Just another thing to keep you awake at night!!
Works for me as well.
Am I the only one who can't get in?
Not working for me either. Times out. Damn, and I really wanted to get in to see ... eh, er, what the hell is on that website?
Slightly OT: ever been to itanimulli.com? (illuminati backwards)
Simple. There is no treasure left for them to report on.
The idiots blew it all and didn't have anything left to pay web hosting costs.
Right on Smegley!
You are right. It should be called the U.S. Debtery Department.
Is today' China's (have their own direct access) version of Japan's Pearl Harbor - only a financial one?
In all seriousness, most likely a DNS poisoning attack by the ChiComms.
That was scheduled downtime in order to upgrade the servers because they foresee increased traffic soon as the bond bubble begins to burst...
Still down for me.
Maybe they've been Snowdened.
I mean, what would anyone expect from forcing a hacker to hole up in an airport indefinitely with nothing but his computer and a Wi Fi connection to play with? Hacking a vending maching for free travel insurance is bound to get boring after a while.
Daisy... Daisy...
Jeantel to the rescue.
One thing we can count on .... even if the whole Public Servant Oligarchy .... is 100% financed .... out of spun sugar cotton candy fiat .... they will still come after .... our brightest and best .... producers, savers, risk takers and innovators .... to punish them for the sins of Capitalism ! The enemies of freedom .... are our smug neighbors .... the teachers, librarians, firemen, policemen, etc. .... who feed off our flesh ! Happy Ghouly 4th !
Remember that Twilight Zone episode .... "How to (protect and) serve man !"
Happy July 4th! (On Thursday) - Oops we shut it down too early.

Printing presses are soaking up all the juice, nothing left for the servers....
On 9/10/2001 the treasury announced it lost $2 trillion. This supposedly happened last Friday: http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/06/27/2220200/wall-street-to-hold-quantu... Known drills include: Madrid subway, LosAngeles college shooting a few weeks ago, London subway, Connecticut on December 14 2012, Boston Marathon, and if the interviews are accurate, 9/11. Could this be a coincidence, sure. But it could not be.
/tinfoil rant
Likely just a DRILL

Maybe they are under the effects of the taper too.
This is usually a good site for checking if the problem is not just you:
http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/treasury.gov.html
What is odd is that when I go there I get the site but down right now says it is everyone. That is usually the other way around
Sounds like a DNS issue. If you can't get to this site try changing your DNS server to 8.8.4.4.
The same thing happened with Fidelity.com on June 20th. Took a day for the new DNS record to get propagated. At the time I thought they were trying to prevent liquidations.
It is an interesting way to limit access.
Banl Holliday Bitchezz!!
I'm glad I got my POMO chart/schedule on Friday.
I'm a novice... is that info available from that website, and if so where would I find it ? Thanks.

Redaction Projects aka "Network Maintenance" can be time consuming.
Emergency, emergency, Benny, divert all power from the primary servers and life support systems to the digital currency flip flop generators !!!
Global monetary reset this week. 'bout time.
Give it rest, will ya? Don't you think they need a software update and major reboot? What better time than June 30 Sunday EOQ. Easy, tiger, UST is not among the four elements like air, water, earth, and fire. Have an Independent 4th of July, fireworkers.
Does not appear to be the DNS issue suggested by DiveDiveDive - as treasury.gov cannot be pinged. Some users may just be catching the site it when it is up momentarily, or they have cached pages.
Why would it have to be ping-able?
Have you heard of firewall, Larry?
maybe you should try Treasury.goy....
still down at 4:15pm est run like all the other us gov, all out to lunch.

Rabobank internet banking system has been down for almost a day now.
Nobody can make any payments at the moment. People can have look on their bank accounts now but still can’t make any payments.
Many problems for banks regarding their internet banking lately.
