Probably one of the rotation web servers hadan issue or something minor.
Or there's a chance that you've got a trojan/malware install on the computer.
I had someone contact me the other day with a nearly identical complaint, "Why have PayPal and eBay been down all day?" They were alternately getting a 404 or 503 for those sites, but everything else worked. Their hosts file had entries for ebay, google, a number of banks, common phishing targets. Even more fun was when I deleted the hosts file, after his next reboot it pulled an updated hosts file with new working IPs from somewhere.
I'm guessing the malware phishers don't have a five-nines array of redundant proxies yet. :)
