I'm not sure how Pingdom works. However, in this case it appears that the servers are accessible but not operational. I (and others) get the 502 Bad Gateway page. That's actually coming from...

FM engineers have changed my profile to assign a score of 2 instead of 5 for the VADESPAM hit, using a tag ME_VADESPAM_LOW. For me, this is sufficient; had the score been 2 from the start, I'd have...
