I work for Amazon and I can agree that it wasn't an attack. One of the switches in the Dublic datacenter went down.

Hmmm! call me sceptical but, I cant ever recall an outage of significant length from Amazon for as long as I can remember, especially covering multiple Countries. Combine that with the outage being around the same time that other sites, Mastercard, Paypal etc were being taken down by annonomous........
