Yeah, weird! The TradingView charts on the right monitor had just updated themselves, and I noticed the date changed from the 7th to the 9th so it was showing it was up-to-date.
But then after I posted this, I couldn't log in either. Figured it was just "the rush in the door" and I'd try again later.
But, now is later and I'm still getting "The connection has timed out."
At any rate, it's looking better, less likely they were hacked, from doing a search for "binance" on Twitter...
Yeah, after that I visited the us domain but I was hesitant to login. Even though I saw that Binance team posted it's legit. :D But now it's working perfectly again and users will get discounted fees too!
YES! I did the same hesitation, because they included an image which said "verify you're only accessing www.binance.com" in it. Then I thought it through, and realized that nobody else can own xyz.binance.com, thus us.binance.com is safe to give my password to.
I also noticed another thing, when I sent coins out -- the 2FA worked fine, but then it sends an email confirmation link for you to click. That link includes "www.binance.com" and thus, after I clicked the link, it was just hanging. I noticed the "www." in the link visually, before it timed out, and changed that to "us." and it confirmed immediately.
Just in case that's still an issue, and you're trying to get coins out.
Not sure it was a DDoS, it seems they were doing an upgrade which took longer than planned. It could have been better announced -- but yeah, the reduced fees are nice.

Use us.binance.com, I just learned this -- https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@libertyteeth/binance-really-is-back-but-you-have-to-go-to-us-binance-com-their-www-binance-com-doesn-t-work-and-binance-com-maps-to-www

They handled this ddos pretty well imo.

Hah, yeah. :D That image was the main reason of my hesitance.
Yeah, it can only be theirs but still... :) I was like, I can wait another day, I don't really want to trade anyways.
For sure I will move out some money but I doubt they will have issues like BitGrail.
About the DDOS, this is the only thing I could find:
LOL, Twitter said "Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!"
Yeah that guy (BitGrail) seems to be in a world of hurt...
