Looks like their methodology is a bit too reliant on those speculative tweets from the first 5 minutes of all these sites going down. &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;downdetector.com&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;aws-amazon-web-services&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;downdetector.com&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;aws-amazon-web-services&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; So many websites are down, are AWS servers down or something?&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Amazon web services is down which is affecting a lot of company web sites and services. Not sure what is going on.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Miss us? @aldotcom and a whole bunch of other folks have been knocked off the internet by what appears to be an AWS attack&amp;#x2F;system failure. We&amp;#x27;ll be back. ?</text></comment>
