The whole point here is that we are a paranoid lot. For me, when a major
security-related site vanishes, I think the worst.

As a standard procedure, whenever SF goes off-line, a note should be sent to
the public. If this is indeed a 0day, then we all should be advised about
it.

I also cannot contact SF (but I am not going to scan them to find out if
they are indeed down.

mail.securityfocus.com is down, too.

Earlier this month, a SecurityFocus employee admitted they sometimes
disconnect from the Internet as a protective measure when new exploits come
to light.  Their absence may indicate the release of a dangerous new
exploit.  I therefore urge everyone to disconnect from the Internet as a
precaution and wait for the media to give you an all-clear signal.  Better
safe than sorry...
