      'cos it's funny

      Funny that a company who sell products to protect networks from things like DOS attacks should themselves have service denied through stupidity. That at their name is rather apt also, as certificate expiry was obviously a point they didn't check.

      Lol

    Checkpoint

    They used to be relatively technically proficient but when the market saturated they expanded into new features - mostly things you shouldn't have on a firewall.

    They are the MS of security.

    Nice (non-)work if you can get it.

    "The web server behind the IP address corresponding to the domain - 216.200.241.66 - was also responding slowly. "

    Anybody who used this "award winning" site daily knows that this is definitely situation normal, Domain snafu or not.
