Newegg and Neiman Marcus websites go down on Black Friday

Newegg, a popular online shop for technology products, and the website for department store Neiman Marcus have both suffered outages today — Black Friday, of all days.

On Black Friday last year, Best Buy’s website went down.

For Neiman Marcus, this is the second big technology problem in a couple of years. In January 2014 the company disclosed a hack affecting more than one million shoppers’ credit cards.

Newegg is working to restore its website, according to the company’s tweets:
