First it was Christian Forums now it is Facebook. Facebook has been down for most of the day worldwide. Facebook has denied it is a ddos attack (denial of service)

It seems odd to believe in facebooks case that nothing nefarious has happened. It seems kind of odd that all locations went down simultaneously .

Anyone know anything concrete?

Website facebook.com Uptime,Downtime Checker Monitoring Service - Is facebook.com Down Right Now? Or Down Just Me?

I used this site for CF when it went down. It was down initially, but then up but not accessible for about a day. Right now FB is up. but might be in maintenance mode if a bunch of people cannot access it.


Still down on the east coast. I am in Boston and Facebook has been down since early today.

Nothing concrete. Not that one would expect a concise explanation after the fact. Most organizations would be mum about that, just like their first response to a data breach is to go silent. It's not corporate culture to talk about it more than they absolutely have to.

True. I work in IT and when we had a breach it was all hands on deck to manage any public knowledge.

Very true. I worked somewhere that had a rather infamous and embarrassing outage that affected hundreds of customers. The company was so protective of their information that when HR discovered that certain employees had posted on social media some stuff that the company considered privileged information (though it was kind of obvious to anybody in IT) that the employees were escorted out of the building when they reported in the next day.

Reread the above. There's a reason I'm being vague about it.
