Amazon Hacked Today? Lost almost $4 Millions

by Live Crunch on June 6, 2008

Amazon was down today, message appeared “Service Unavailable” between 10:30am and 12:30pm. The thing is that Amazon is loosing $31.000 per minute if website is down.

You do the math that is about 4.000.000 dollars of money lost!

Many tried to contact Amazon PR and representatives but nobody is answering phone calls.

Was Amazon Hacked?

(Stats per CNET)

Even now that they are “back up” for a lot of items when you click on them to buy your still getting the Service Not Available errors :(
