Back in 2016 there was a DDoS attack which caused the outage of Shopify and Etsy (which many wet shaving artisans use). Well, it looks like something's afoot again. While you can reach the site itself as well as the shop URLs, they all respond with "Sorry, this shop is currently unavailable." See the prior article for some of the sites affected or manually go through our list of links. A little Monday #drama for you.
Their status page says everything's up and running (as does Is It Down Right Now?)... The incident history is also bare of details at the moment... But it does appear that people have been having issues for as much as 24 hours already. They noticed over on Reddit also.
Stay tuned for updates...
