Hmm, weird, it certainly appears to be out of action. I'll try some alternative web addresses but that is weird...

The page cannot be displayed because our force of trained cyber monkeys and underground gnomes have disabled it.

Uh oh. It may happen to the best of them, but hackers just seem to have a serious hate-on for Blizzard (Why? I can't say... their games are great and the folks that work there are quite cool). Hitting the Blizzard.com domain gets you a message that begins with "The page cannot be displayed because our force of trained cyber monkeys and underground gnomes have disabled it." It seems the site has been hacked and, as most hack jobs go, everything will likely be back to normal rather shortly. We're mentioning it so that everyone knows that if they go to Blizzard.com and it doesn't look quite right, this is why (this is one of the most boring hacks I've ever seen, by the way).

I heard it was a denial of service attack of some kind, so hopefully there won't be any database damage.

I heard that no damage was done. I think the links were messed up.

If I remember correctly, I think the hackers' hatred for Blizzard may be related to a copy-protection scheme Blizzard introduced, which was alleged to trace the IP addresses of users without their consent.
