"nternet users in Northern California were unable to reach properties including Amazon.com and Amazon Web Services
for a time Wednesday evening, as their DNS provider was targeted by a distributed denial-of-service attack.
The attack came as North American consumers rushed to finish online shopping ahead of the end-of-year holiday season."
