Is there a coincidence with the Times being down yesterday and this??

No, the Times episode was clearly the result of an ill-considered and ill-timed system update that went south. Not that the Times isn't sometimes hacked, but yesterday's episode had a pedestrian explanation.
It's a coincidence. NYT was not hacked yesterday.
Fox News was quick to point out it was hacked, though. Hacking! Cyberwar! Cyberterrorism! Fear!
Never, Fortune 100 never gets hacked, they just go into maintenance mode.
