It's back up now, so if it was a DDoS it was a pretty ineffectual one (time between post and this comment is 20 minutes).

W3.org still appears to be down https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5052503

Still down for me. (I can't access the website, my MIT email, or my box sitting on campus.) http://3down.mit.edu/ works but reports nothing.

All .mit.edu domains I've tried appear down (stellar, my fraternity, etc)

its still down and so is w3.org

Still down here (accessing from the UK in case that matters).

Still down.

Still down, from Asia (Taiwan) DNS resolution issue
