In the last few minutes, Amazon.com has gone down without explanation. Both the website and the app only tell visitors that “An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we’re working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.” Reports of the site being unavailable have spiked on DownDetector, where a map of Amazon outages looks like much of the continental U.S. has gone up in red and yellow flames. We’ve reached out to Amazon for comment and will update.
