Amazon.com is down!

and so is Amazon.co.uk

[Namaste]

Both Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk aren't responding. I am able to open all other sites

[bcolflesh]

Working fine for me.

[Namaste]

Now I'm getting Amazon.com, but .co.uk is down from here and through webwarper

[Namaste]

their server has become extremely slooooowwww...taking time to serve each page.

well, amazon is down for me. Timed out when I tried to go there. hmm... wonder what's up. Did the next Harry Potter book go on pre-sale today? ;)

[FraudAdvisor]

BBC News are reporting hackers responsible for taking down sites with DoS attacks. Perhaps Amazon is a victim.

One cheeky group of chappies in Russia are said to have made £40m or thereabouts extorting poor payment processors on the basis of "pay up and your service will return to normal".

Hope this helps

.ca is sluggishly slow, but seems to be working alright.

[Namaste]

It's fine now. I could have sworn I saw a new look yesterday, but same old look today

Ya, I am getting orders again.
