    HSBC DNS Records or Router screwy

    Anyone have IT friends at HSBC?

    Could you let them know that their website is 1/2 borked.
    http://hsbc.com.hk/ - times out
    Hong Kong Banking Services - HSBC Hong Kong - works just fine

    Either they screwed up their DNS records or their load balancer redirects. Either way, they should really fix it...

    No, I cant be arsed to go thru their support people who wont get what I'm saying

    It started about 1 week ago...I thought they would quickly notice and fix it but so far they haven't.

    You'd think they would be monitoring it.....

    It took them more than a couple of weeks but it seems they have fixed it.

    Interesting that they've blocked curl.

    Code:
    curl -I http://hsbc.com.hk/
    HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
