Amazon Outage Wipes Out Shopping and Music Services

The tech giant’s website and mobile apps were offline for over three hours on Thursday night, leaving thousands of customers unable to shop or access their music playlists. Downdetector reported a significant spike in user complaints about issues with checkout, search, and logging in. However, an Amazon spokesperson has confirmed that the problems have been resolved, citing a software code deployment as the cause. Amazon has issued a statement apologizing for the inconvenience caused by the outage. The issue has now been fixed, and users can once again access their accounts without interruption.
