Edit: Looks like they're back online now. The normal bitinstant.com site has been unavailable for at least 14 hours now. Going to the site now just presents: BitInstant.com is currently down due to site revisions All orders placed up to this point will process as normal. If you have any questions or issues feel free to contact support@bitinstant.com or call 716-712-4846 I came across this bit on IRC describing how Roger Ver, the marketing director of bitinstant is currently stuck in immigration holding in Macau. I don't know if it has any bearing on the site being down: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/124hn2/roger_ver_aannd_hes_gone

I can confirm it's not a security issue, and really is just for some revisions that are critically needed - we'll be back tonight.

Thank you for this. With the drop in price, it didn't look good. I can confirm it's not a security issue, and really is just for some revisions that are critically needed - we'll be back tonight.
