I realized this afternoon that I've not checked Brian Krebs' blog for a
few days so I tried to access www.krebsonsecurity.com. This pointed to
localhost, not his web site.
A web search revealed that yesterday his site suffered a massive DDoS
attack, apparently from a IOT botnet. But, his

Because that's what his nameserver is returning as his IP address. Not much you
can do until that changes.

Ali,
I didn't search that far since I'm not well educated on DNS. I also did
not run dig
I'm not surprised. I was able to get to his site this morning, but not this

His service provider (who was suffering the affects of the attack) unloaded
him. Until he can get back up, your only recourse is to find caches of the
site.

John,
I suspected as much. Could this be a result of the DDoS attack?
Thanks,
