Fotolia and Shutterstock is down at the sametime, right at this moment...

Up again

It's down for me. Search doesn't return anything on Shutterstock. It's unfortunate because these are peak days for microstock and every hour can have an impact on sales.

Um .. because September/October is the high season for stock image industry? Hello?

Shutterstock, Fotolia and BigStock all down

Dreamframer · « **Reply #8 on:** October 21, 2016, 12:51 »

https://stock.adobe.com is down for me as well.

Dumc · « **Reply #9 on:** October 21, 2016, 12:54 »

Everything fine here, *.si

We are under cyber attack. A bunch of websites doesn't work including Twitter, Netflix, Spotify, Weebly, Wix, and many more. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/10/21/cyber-attack-takes-down-east-coast-netflix-spotify-twitter/92507806/

It's kinda of working, but it's spotty. I don't expect many sales for the rest of the day if this continues. There is a massive DDOS attack on a DNS provider. A lot of major sites are down because of it.

Shutterstock seems to be OK but Canva is definitely down. Haven't checked any others. Hope this gets sorted out soon.

motionguy · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2016, 13:13 »

Videoblocks down too.

If somebody needs an image or a clip I guess he or she would buy it anyway day or two later, in spite of those "high seasons".

Canva working for me

It depends how urgent the project is. If they need to wrap up a project fast they will get the images/videos they need from another vendor. And we all know there is no shortage of vendors in this industry. It's bad for Shutterstock anyway.

The cyber attack was an east coast occurrence in the US, so SS & P5 is down for me. Other sites I use in the New York area are also down.

marthamarks · « **Reply #19 on:** October 21, 2016, 14:52 »

Almost 2 PM in the Rockies, and SS, FT and Adobe are still down for me.

Dog-maDe-sign · « **Reply #20 on:** October 21, 2016, 15:00 »

For me too.

Stockmaan · « **Reply #21 on:** October 21, 2016, 15:07 »

SS and AFT works now. (Europe)

beketoff · « **Reply #22 on:** October 21, 2016, 15:13 »

FT and SS are both down here in Europe as of 10pm CET. Wow, what a large-scale attack...

gyllens · « **Reply #23 on:** October 21, 2016, 15:16 »

It's bad for Shutterstock but I wouldn't mind if they buy the same video on Videoblocks

Why not upload to all agencies at the same time.
