sushil saini (@saini_sush13826) reported@AmazonHelp @AmazonSupport6 @amazonIN Amazon is one of the worst shopping platforms. Facing continuous issues with orders and support, but no proper resolution provided. I would never recommend anyone to purchase from Amazon. Very disappointing experience....

Kushal (@shaanjain879) reported@AmazonHelp This is exactly what the problem is. Your stupid AI doesn't understand the problem and keeps me away from getting in touch with a human. Looks like you guys are doing the same. Take the damn thing away and give me the refund. Or shall I file a case ?

समृद्धम-भारतम (@DharmaBharatam) reportedBraintrust AI Suffers Major Cloud Breach: API Keys Compromised #Braintrust, a leading AI observability and evaluation platform, disclosed a significant data breach on May 4, 2026, after hackers gained unauthorized access to one of its #Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts. The company confirmed that customer-stored API keys for major AI providers, including #OpenAI and Anthropic, were compromised. These keys enable Braintrust’s platform to interact with AI models on behalf of users, raising concerns about potential misuse across the AI supply chain. Braintrust, which raised $80 million earlier this year and counts clients like Stripe and Notion among its users, acted swiftly. The firm locked down the affected account, rotated all internal secrets, and urgently notified every customer to immediately revoke and regenerate their API keys. No evidence of broader customer data theft has been found, and the incident appears contained. The breach underscores the growing security risks facing AI infrastructure tools and the critical importance of credential hygiene in cloud environments.

shellfoss (@ShelleyFos4906) reported@RaminNasibov I don’t think I’ve ever had my issue solved by AI or human when I’m trying to get answers on Amazon or eBay. I do find, however that I’m extremely polite with saying thank you, etc, even when I know it’s AI. It’s very weird , I know. Am I the only one lol

Lain on the Blockchain (@CryptoCyberia) reportedMy bad. It wasn't vibe-coding at Coinbase that made their matching engine go down. It was vibe-coding at Amazon that made it go down. Honest mistake, though details may change. It's very possible the engineers used LLMs to design the architecture for building on AWS, but that is just pure speculation at the current moment.

MartyParty (@martypartymusic) reportedCoinbase experienced a significant trading outage on May 7-8, 2026 (lasting roughly 5-7 hours), primarily due to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure failure in the US-East-1 region (Northern Virginia data center). • Cause: Overheating in a single AWS data center (related to a “thermal event” or cooling system failure). AWS had to bring additional cooling capacity online, which took time and affected multiple availability zones. • Impact on Coinbase: • Degraded performance and inability to buy, sell, or trade normally. • The exchange switched to “Cancel Only” mode (users could cancel orders but not place new ones) and later auction mode in some cases. • Trading across interfaces (website, apps, Advanced Trade) was disrupted. • Some users reported issues with sends/receives on certain networks (e.g., Solana, ALEO delays), though buys/sells and fiat transfers were often less affected. • Timeline (approximate, PDT): • Started around May 7 evening (e.g., ~18:53 PDT investigating AWS issue). • Resolved with full market re-enablement by ~00:49 PDT on May 8.

CRYPTO OUTLOOK (@_crypto_outlook) reportedAmazon Web Services (AWS) is using Coinbase and Stripe for AI agent payments with stablecoins. The company introduced Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments. It was developed in partnership with Coinbase and Stripe, which provided the wallet infrastructure and payment systems. Meanwhile, Coinbase announced that developers could create solutions for AI agents using their x402 protocol, which allows micropayments with USDC. At the same time, the use of Coinbase on Amazon's cloud infrastructure led to an extended outage. Initially, it affected the ALEO and Solana networks. Users of the cryptocurrency exchange were unable to make transactions through the website and mobile app.

Blockchain Daily News (@blckchaindaily) reportedAmazon Web Services said it is actively working to restore normal temperatures at a data center in Northern Virginia after overheating issues disrupted some services. The company reported that progress has been slower than anticipated, though engineers have made what it described as “incremental progress” in stabilizing cooling systems. Officials confirmed that a power loss linked to the incident affected certain hardware, compounding the disruption. As a result, services dependent on the impacted facility may continue to experience impairments while recovery efforts remain underway. Northern Virginia is one of the most critical hubs for global internet infrastructure, meaning even localized disruptions can have widespread ripple effects. The incident highlights the growing strain on data center infrastructure as demand for cloud computing and AI workloads continues to surge. Amazon has not yet provided a full timeline for complete recovery, but says mitigation efforts are ongoing as teams work to bring systems back to full capacity.

Last Kings (@Varun_A_Sachin) reported@AmazonHelp @amazon @amazonIN None of the issues are working, all issues selected show grayed out options. Will the issue be resolved or not? Just a big E-commerce company doesn't have any other way, rather than this one useless link?

Jonah 📦 (@jonahhodges_) reportedDay 1: Listing audit. We pull up every product they have on Amazon. → Check the images. → Check the copy. → Check the backend search terms. Most of the time it's a mess. One blurry image, bullet points written a decade ago, zero A+ content, no videos. We document everything that's broken and build the fix list.

The Bitcoiner (@TheBitcoinerIO) reportedCOINBASE TRADING HALTED FOR NEARLY SEVEN HOURS AFTER AWS DATA CENTER OVERHEATS Coinbase suspended trading for nearly seven hours on Friday after overheating at an Amazon Web Services data center in Northern Virginia knocked out core exchange services. AWS identified the failure in availability zone use1-az4 within its US-EAST-1 region, where elevated temperatures caused a cascade of hardware impairments that spread across multiple availability zones. Coinbase said its systems are designed to withstand a single-zone failure but were unable to maintain operations when multiple zones were affected simultaneously. The exchange placed all markets in “cancel only” mode, during which resting orders remained cancelable but new market and limit orders were not accepted. Coinbase then transitioned to auction mode before fully restoring trading. The outage began at approximately 1 AM UTC on May 8 and was fully resolved by around 8 AM UTC. Customer funds were not at risk during the disruption. The outage came hours after Coinbase’s Q1 2026 earnings report, in which the company posted a $394 million net loss and announced a 14% workforce reduction. COIN shares were down 2.53% in pre-market trading on Friday before markets opened. Coinbase said it will conduct a full investigation once AWS publishes its official retrospective.
