Looks like DNS.

I can just see some c-level's at FedEx having a meeting just before the site goes down.

C1: Look at all the free publicity Rogers got for being down for just a few hours.

C2: Yeah, almost every major news publication covered it. That's visibility you just can't buy.

C1: <💡> We should do the same thing, get some publicity for us!

C2: I agree!

C2: <📞 IT> Hello IT. I want you to shut down our website for a few hours.

IT: What, Why?!? We'll lose a lot of business!

C1/C2: Just do it, don't question us! We have BIG plans!

ZDNet just went down for me as well, but is back up now.

Is it going to be another DNS day?

Signs point to "Yes".
