Is FT under attack? [white screen]

I was reading away quite happily on FT this evening when all of a sudden the screen blanked out. Nothing wrong with my connection or laptop as every other site still functioned, but FT was gone. My favourites page was wiped out and for about 10 minutes all my attempts to load the FT forum page just showed a blank with 'FT' and a picture of a cloud next to it. Now its back, just as suddenly as it disappeared - weird. I'm just wondering if this happened to anyone else? Are the aliens at work?

The usual issue for me is that the forum just does not load up, but strange on this occasion I just saw a white screen like you too. Could be a whole host of reasons.

I've moved this thread over to the Technical Support and Feedback forum, where it will be seen by FT's hard working technical support team.

Same here, I could see the post titles but clicking on them resulted in a white screen (on iPad)
