Mass outage like this is exactly one of the things we are looking to avoid by building a decentralized storage grid with Sia. Sia are immune to situations like this because data is stored redundantly across dozens of servers around the world that are all running on different, unique configurations. Furthermore, there's no single central point of control on the Sia network. Sia is still under heavy development, but it…

Was just pentesting it, and have some minor result. If you are using S3 browser uploads, make sure parameters you supply to Presign do not contain \n or it can lead to format injection https://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/s3-developer-guide/RESTAuthenti... Many aws SDK libs don't remove \n for you. (I hope it wasn't me who broke it lol)

"Was just pentesting it" ... hopefully with their permission. Be careful.

It's interesting to note the cascading effects. For example, I was immediately hit by three problems:

* Slack file sharing no longer works, hangs forever (no way to hide the permanently rolling progress bar except quitting)

* Github.com file uploads (e.g. dropping files into a Github issue) don't work.

* Imgur.com is completely down.

* Docker Hub seems to be unavailable. Can't pull/push images.

Yup, same here. It has been a few minutes already. Wanna bet the green checkmark[1] will stay green until the incident is resolved? [1] https://status.aws.amazon.com/

So, global S3 outage for more than an hour now. Still green, still talking about "US East issue". I'm amazed.

http://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services looks like a reasonable alternative place to check/report downtime.

Apparently, that's down too. Sigh.

what's truly incredible is that S3 has been offline for h̶a̶l̶f̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶r̶ two hours now and Amazon still has the audacity to put five shiny green checkmarks next to S3 on their service page. they just now put up a box at the top saying "We are investigating increased error rates for Amazon S3 requests in the US-EAST-1 Region." increased error rates? really? Amazon, everything is on fire. you are not fooling an…
