Whoa. Amazon.com is DOWN. Around the world.

[mainer]

I went online to buy something and got an error message ("We're sorry, an error has occurred. Please reload this page and try again.&quot . Went to Twitter and found out it's been down since 10:36, with reports of outages in Germany and India as well. This is unprecedented.

[TreasonousBastard]

1. Worse-- Amazon servers host major businesses. If that is down, too, everyone's in trouble.

[HipChick]

64. Their CDN might be down...

Nothing to do with their servers...

[fescuerescue]

67. Amazon storefront is hosted on Amazon services.

If Amazon services goes down, then everything is down including the store.

But if that was the case, I would have been woken up last night.

[applegrove]

2. It is up in Canada. Just checked.

[mainer]

3. Did you try clicking on a specific product?

That's when you get the error message.

[applegrove]

17. It takes me to the wrong place when i click on a product. A wall of ads. I

tried 2 different products.

[Bettie]

4. It's up here

USA. Iowa.

ETA: Well, prime video was working on my fire stick and I can get to Kindle Unlimited, but I can't access content or return the book I was going to. So, maybe they are having a server issue.

[mvd]

6. Getting same error message

It’s on all products I go to.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. It would be funny if some of those bots and phishing email web services hosted at AWS took it down.

[Hoyt]

9. Testing space flight system overload.

[Lisa0825]

10. I got to my orders just fine, but can't get to a specific product. nt

[mainer]

11. Right, that's when you get the error message

if you click on something you want to buy.

[BigmanPigman]

12. It's OK in San Diego.

I just checked.

[wcmagumba]

13. Down here in sw KS...

opens and can get to account pages but any specific product opening gives an error. It did let me change my password whether needed or not, I did...

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. Amazon Prime is not down.

I'm watching a video with no problem.

[mainer]

16. Well, that's good to know that we can still stream

it's just the product purchasing that seems to be affected.

[mbusby]

15. Up....

...in Colorado.

[Maru Kitteh]

37. The homepage looks normal but you cannot view an individual item

in Montana.

[Bristlecone]

18. It's fine in CO

[Me.]

19. Hacked?

[Ziggysmom]

20. Error in Wisconsin when selecting an item

[lindysalsagal]

21. Error! Lol!

The whole company is such a screwup!!!

[USALiberal]

65. lol, extremely profitable, but nice try! Nt

[mainer]

22. Twitter is going berserk

As someone said there, if Google goes down, all is lost.

[NoMoreRepugs]

23. Just purchased something in my cart from earlier. Did have

problems with the site after that though.

[iemanja]

24. I wonder if it's Russian hackers?

the kind who are demanding ransoms.

I too get an error message when I click on a product--any product.

[applegrove]

28. Maybe they are going to harrass Biden by hacking until Republicans win.

I don't recall such hacking during Trump's admin. A bit but not high profile like in the last few months.

[kimbutgar]

25. I just saw this on my Amazon page

Wow !! Maga/Russia take down.

[Budi]

26. Where's Pete Thiel? Silicon Valley RU's hate Amazon.

This would make those RU fkers quite happy.

Silicon Valley's wanted to take down Amazon & Bezos for some time.
Trump hates Bezos too. Btw.

But, perhaps it's just a 'glitch'.
Guess we'll find out

[madaboutharry]

27. You can't click on an item.

It brings you back to the home page.

[Ilsa]

29. no wonder Kindle is messed up.

I was hoping to download a book to start on. Guess I'll have to wait.

[dalton99a]

30. Yep

[Dalai_1]

31. It is okay in NC /nt

[applegrove]

36. Can you go as far as buying something? I mean can you choose a product and

get to its website?

[sarcasmo]

32. Branson hacked Amazon from space.

[Pinback]

61. Ha! I came here looking for the Branson connection.

He's lucky the Jewish space lasers didn't take down the Virgin Shuttle, but they were probably too busy with CPAC all weekend.

[Maru Kitteh]

33. Yeah, it's down hard. Suck because my husband needs a product we cannot

buy locally.

[ProgRocknProgPol]

34. The paranoid cynic in me thinks this may be company-induced retaliation against Lina Khan or

the Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy signed last week. I'll have a more solid opinion on this depending on what happens next, and for how long it happens.

[ProgRocknProgPol]

45. Scratch that. Amazon loses a crap ton of money for every minute this happens. I'm definitely wrong.

[Sunsky]

35. Phew it's not only me

I am not receiving an error message. However, I was searching for a product earlier and fell asleep. For the past few minutes, I've been trying to click on different products with no success. It loops back to the search results or front page.

Edit to say: I was able to purchase the items already in my cart. Hopefully, my info is safe.

[Ms. Toad]

38. They heard my daughter had a colonoscopy tomorrow, and went down

to save all that packing until she returned!

[dmr]

39. I've had problems accessing Amazon for the past month.

Some days everything is fine, then there are days where I can't do much at all.

I've no clue on what's going on, but It's very aggravating.

There also seems to be an issue lately with Verizon -- briefly losing connection or being slow. For instance loading DU can be a super-duper slow ordeal.

[highplainsdem]

40. Downdetector says Amazon's been down since 10:36 ET, AWS since 10:48:

I'm streaming now.

[patricia92243]

42. Down in Florida. Have to actually buy something before error message.

[madaboutharry]

43. Numerous news sites reporting Amazon store down globally.

The modern world! Remember when we shopped in real stores?

[Indykatie]

44. I Can Review My Purchase History But Can't Purchase Any Product in Indiana at 11:54 PM - EST n/t

[WhiteTara]

46. 10:56 pm Amazon is fully functional

[highplainsdem]

50. Just checked again, was able to view item details this time instead of the error message.

[captain queeg]

47. Hope it's not ransom ware.

That could cost them a pile of money.

[mainer]

48. And it's back. About an hour's outage.

Weird.

[highplainsdem]

51. Hour and a half for Amazon if Downdetector is correct. 15 minutes less for AWS,

assuming AWS is back now. See reply 40 for the Downdetector tweets posted earlier.

[StarryNite]

49. Was down a couple of minutes ago but appears to be back up.

[mvd]

52. Back up here in PA, too

I wasn’t buying anything but glad to see it was not long.

[flotsam]

53. 12:35am Southern New Hampshire

[Rhiannon12866]

54. Also working for me now - here in New York!

[Poiuyt]

55. This is exactly why Bezos lost the space race to Branson.

[DURHAM D]

56. I just placed an order.

Received the usual email but noticed a featured comment that employees start at $15 an hour and receive medical benefits from day one.

[TlalocW]

57. Huh, I'm surprised it worked

Uh, I mean... how did THAT happen?

TlalocW

[TygrBright]

58. Works fine for me. n/t

[barbtries]
