Huge Amazon outage suspected to be consequence following Iran strikes on Amazon AWS data centres

Hello guys,

I was just logged in the Seller Central from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, when suddenly all of the listings in my inventory turned into dog pages. I thought something happened with my store and there was a black hat attack, however then I could see that all of the other listings on the website were dog pages.

Within minutes, I could see spikes on the Downdetector and also the first news reports:


There were recent drone strikes by Iran on the AWS infrastructure in the UAE and Bahrain, as reported previously:

Update, 1 hour later not a single product is listed on the Amazon website!

I hope they had it backed up!

Where are you Kika? Amazon have released a statement about debris hitting data centres in the UAE

It’s working fine now.
