I assume you are speaking about the service Blockchain.info ? If it's the case then It works just fine for me personally , however this website says It's down for everyone : http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/blockchain.info.html (I'm not sure how come I can access it)

It's not an official bitcoin wallet , the only wallet that could be considered as an official wallet is "Bitcoin Core" which got created by Satoshi Nakamoto and now maintained by the developers. It's possible to take down the website by both hacking & DDOS attacks and It happened before.

Relax , It seems like they indeed have somes issues , I just checked their twitter account (tweeted 8 minutes ago) : https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/786151063955136512 , It shouldn't take long till It's back to work.

Can you post a tx id? Cause i find it hard to believe that about 33% of the bitcoins that are currently mined were stolen....

As i allways tell everybody: please stop using online wallets!!! When you're not the only one physically in controll of your private key, you're not the only one controlling your bitcoin.
In this case, blockchain.info's outage will stop you from being able to use your addresses...
