I am trying to get on Walmart's website today. I keep getting a "help us keep your account safe by clicking in the checkbox below". I have tried several times on different computers and nothing happens. Does anyone else have this problem? TIA

There's a global internet outage. You can read about it on the Daily Mail.

Thank you so much. I'll look for that.

Many sites have been down today and that has caused a bottleneck of people trying to sign on to shop. Just be patient.

That explains it, I was trying to get to Fed Ex's site today, and had no luck until late morning.

It happened to me for the first time two days ago. When I would click on the "click and hold here," nothing would happen. Again and again, and I couldn't get on the website.

 

This is strange: I use the keypad, not a mouse. I had been clicking using my middle finger. By chance, I tapped the keypad with my pointer finger, and it worked.

 

Don't ask me for an explanation. I haven't seen that screen since.

Any word on what caused this global outage?

 

 

Another hack?

Just heard on the news that sites should be back up and running now. The outage was aimed at major players, like FedEx, Amazon, Home Depot, etc. Malware was mentioned as the source, but nothing very specific.

I was able to place an order on Walmart yesterday in the early evening.  I guess it had been fixed by then.

 

I don't log in though.  I check out as a guest with my pay pal account.
