Facebook
and Instagram users lost access to the social network's applications
in parts of the world Wednesday as a result of an outage of
undetermined origin.
The
California giant which has more than two billion users acknowledged
the outage after users noted on Twitter
they could not access Facebook or had limited functionality.
"We're
aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the
Facebook family of apps. We're working to resolve the issue as soon
as possible," a Facebook statement said on Twitter.
A
short time later, Facebook
indicated the outage was not related to an attack aimed at
overwhelming the network.
"We're
focused on working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, but can
confirm that the issue is not related to a DDoS attack,"
Facebook said, referring to what is known as a distributed denial of
service cyber strike.
