Looks like their website still isn't available, so here's the email I just got:

Early this afternoon, United Wisconsin's website www.unitedwisconsin.com, was the victim of a cyber attack. It appears this attack may be ongoing. Our web team reports that this attack was coordinated and deliberate.

With eternal regards,

[coworker]

What entertaining things do your coworkers do that make your day better?
