Authorize.net one of the largest payment processors Down

[TSS Taylor]

Authorize.net is the payment gateway, maybe the largest in the world. And they are down. It's not just you!

This is the first time I've ever seen a website of this nature be down. It means anyplace that uses Auth.net to process transactions you won't be able to do it.

Yikes!

Apparently it was a fire at their location.

They are tweeting about it at Authorize.Net (AuthorizeNet) on Twitter.

Fire yes, ETA no.

Yay. I just started following them. This is a sad day in the E-Commerce world.

Scary day, too. People might look outside, see a beautiful day, and just skip out on the whole "obsessively buying things" way of life.

Even worse, Bejeweled Blitz is down! They were hosted at the same place. This is serious.
