Is there anything there to be worried about? Or was it only my ISP?

Be very wary of relying on JavaScript for security on crypto sites. The site can change the JavaScript at any time unless you take unusual precautions, and browsers are not generally known for their airtight security.

The worry was whether the site itself was under some trouble or if any data was compromised. Thinking I should change my password, but don't want to do that either before I know its secure again. |

Actual good practice would be changing your password each month at least I don't want to change before I receive any word. Anyone shouldn't be typing in any kind of password right now. I was logged in through cookie. |

The forum was down for me an hour ago. I was thought we might be getting the forum software upgrade! Apparently not.

Was in the bath so didn't notice anything, but it's probably nothing to worry about changing your password over. I remember when this forum used to go down for 10-30 minutes at a time quite often but this is the first time in a very long time it has apparently happened.

There was apparently a glitch in the DNS switchover to the NSA-hosted servers. The good thing is that with the better new hardware there should be less downtime in the future.
Seriously though there usually would be an announcement if the site was compromised.

The forum gets flooded with DDoS attempts from time to time and theymos doesn't want to use any DDoS mitigation that will aid an attacker in MiTM'ing the forum so it's somewhat difficult to prevent.

Unlikely when the admins are away for the holidays. |

It was apparently a short DoS attack. This kind of thing happens from time to time. It's nothing to worry about.
What you should worry about is if the HTTPS public key or IP address changes. I'll always post a PGP-signed announcement for such changes.
