Don’t feel singled out as Facebook was down for everyone, literally everyone in the world for over 30 minutes, making it one of the major down-times for the website for the year.
But its back now.
——————————–
Update
And Facebook is back after almost 45 minutes of down-time.
——————————–
While we know that it gonna hit back any moment now, but until its down — for good for some — it won’t be a bad idea to do some thing that you used to do during pre-facebook era, such as some productive work, calling a friend, watching TV or probably playing luddu.
We currently have no confirmed information about the reasons that took Facebook down, however, Gizmodo is reporting that Facebook IPs are receiving gigantic DoS attacks from with-in US and from Brazil and China.
Just in case if you aren’t familiar, DoS attacks is a term used when hundreds of thousands of computers send junk requests to an IP to keep the services running on it unavailable for legitimate requests, causing a down-time for legitimate users.
Instagram is down too, and Facebook is to be blamed for this.
We’re aware of an outage affecting Instagram and are working on a fix. Thank you for your patience.
PTA did this :P
Stupid it was down all over the world
blind people even can’T see ” :p ” lol :D
Bhai yeh sub IK kay dharnay ki wajah say huwa hey! ;)
yesh :D *Pervaiz Rasheed ka Facebook naa chalnay k ghussay per sargoshi mein ilzaam* :P
Amir is a student, maaf kar do yar konsa petrol iski waja se gayab huwa tha !!!
LOL
ab thik chal rahi hai
DDOS attacks hemmm interesting they manage to kill facebook for approx 30-45 minutes.
Lizard squad, the group with largest Tor network claimed resposibility.
According to google tech news facebook have denied that outage caused by hackers, in the same atricle… “Some suggested that hacking group Lizard Squad had been responsible for
the outage, after a tweet on the group’s Twitter account read:
“Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, AIM, Hipchat #offline #LizardSquad.”
No sure, but may be this hack done due to frequent use of Facebook Lite app, that is still not officially launched. So just a thought as a Tech related person, there can be a bug in the app that create multiple sessions and/or dose not close the session properly.
Any comments!!!!
dal tu nawaz pe ye b :P
