As we see more and more cyber attacks making headlines they all seem mention “the ministry of X website was taken down” or “ Department of X’s website was unavailable”. It seems to me that taking down a website is a pretty small move, if that’s it. I don’t need to access the Dept. Of Energy website to make my life work. Is the website being down just a public facing indication of more bigger things going on behind the scenes, like files being inaccessible for internal users?

Bang on the money with that one. You might not use the Dept. Of Energy’s site regularly, but there are people who do, and not just the page you first land on, but pages only accessible to those who really need them.
