Please stop jumping to conclusions as to what caused amazon to go down. The evidence is pointing to a dns attacker.

Let me post the comments section to that link:

"your "update" with conjecture that it's DNS based is really, really uninformed.

try your "whois" test with microsoft.com or apple.com ... it's the same thing.

your awareness of how the version of the "whois" command operates is the only thing that's been compromised."

another comment:

"So, what does "whois www.amazon.com" give you? And why would you say those results indicate Amazon's DNS entry was hacked??"

and the last comment:

It's responding with a web server error message -- the DNS didn't get hacked... it resolves just fine if you ping it.

You can also access the Amazon website through HTTPS --> https://www.amazon.com/


lol i was reading that amd was trying to figgure out what joe was talking bout....
