Is Amazon under attack?

I keep getting this message:

"We're sorry!

Well, I can't access their home page from my home ISP. Hmmm.

 

[JM Aggie08]

Just noticed this -- can't get to the home page or my orders...or anything really.

Someone's getting canned :O

I also looks like they are having issues when I try.

Sometimes the link to the account page loads but nothing can be accessed from it. (https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/account-access-login)

Odd...seems to work just fine here.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Yeah, a few minutes ago it couldn't display my orders right and didn't seem to re-log me in even.

It's been slow for me today as well.

 

[dr150]

[Homerboy]

Works fine for me. Your interneting sucks.

It came back up for me like 15 min ago. So it was like a 10 min outage...

People have been upset today after they raised their minimum purchase for free shipping to $199.

Half the videos on youtube don't seem to be working as well.

Seems fine for me. Amazon.ca and amazon.com. Maybe some routes are messed up. Ironic they would be having network issues though given they actually have a cloud service.

I had this happen a few weeks ago.

Half the videos on youtube don't seem to be working as well.

It's been acting a little odd for me today. I click on a video and it plays a different video....sometimes random, sometimes something I watched 3 videos back.

This thread was a few weeks ago... :sneaky:

Another thought is that after you kill the competition and/or get everyone so hooked on you they won't care, you raise the prices. Interestingly in this case, you could also argue that one day, Amazon might decide that it is done chasing new business lines and cut reinvestment and start sending profits to the shareholders.

Sorry guys, I tripped on a cable. It'll be back up soon.
