Now (6th of Oct, 2023) I’m trying to read some documentation ([https://vtk.org/doc](https://vtk.org/doc)) and the website is down ( [vtk.org](http://vtk.org) refused to connect). What is going on? Cyber attack or maintenance?
Updated: the website is back again, after 10 minutes. What caused the interruption? Shall I take security measures (changing passwords and whatnot), or it was maintenance?

12:13 UTC it ([vtk.org/doc](http://vtk.org/doc)) is down for me as well - however this link works:
[VTK documentation](https://docs.vtk.org/en/latest/)

[VTK documentation](https://docs.vtk.org/en/latest/) seems to work perfectly, as well as [VTK: VTK 9.3.20231006 Documentation](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/)
What do you expect behind [https://vtk.org/doc](https://vtk.org/doc) ?

I updated my comment. I know it’s back again, but why it did happen (if it was a cyber attack, I have to change my password etc.)? What I’m expecting from the [https://vtk.org/doc](https://vtk.org/doc) you asked, I shortened the address to type it in the forum without copy-pasting (laziness). I was trying to access [VTK: vtkThreshold Class Reference](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkThreshold.html) and the web page was down.

It was not an attack but an issue in our network.
