Best Buy Website Back After Crashing For Over An Hour On Black Friday

(CBS SF) -- The Best Buy website is back up again after reportedly experiencing technical problems on Black Friday, one of the most busiest shopping days of the year.

Shoppers logging onto the website received this message: "We're Sorry: BestBuy.com is currently unavailable. Check back soon."

The website was first reported down at about 7:05 a.m. and was back online about an hour later.

A Best Buy spokesperson told KPIX 5 "a concentrated spike in mobile traffic triggered issues that led us to shut down BestBuy.com in order to take proactive measures to restore full performance."
