    Anyone experienced their FB fix going blank and thought something wrong with your internet connection? You were not alone...

    Netizens turn to Twitter as Facebook, Instagram bog down
    Aries Joseph Hegina, Matikas Santos | INQUIRER.net 3:27 PM | Tuesday, January 27th, 2015


    MANILA, Philippines—Social media behemoths Facebook and Instagram crashed at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon (Philippine time).

    The meltdown rocked the online world, prompting users to turn to their Twitter accounts and report the incident.

    The hashtag “#Facebookdown” surged to become the top trending topic worldwide while the words “Facebook and Instagram” were also in the top 10 worldwide trending topics.

    Instagram has acknowledged the outage in a post on its official Twitter account: “We’re aware of an outage affecting Instagram and are working on a fix. Thank you for your patience.”

    A massive Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack in the United States caused the servers of Facebook, Instagram and AIM to go down on Tuesday, according to digitalattackmap.com.

    US was targeted by a massive amount of data requests, causing the servers of social networking sites to crash due to the load.

    Twitter account *Reddit_tech_new tweeted about the DDoS attack after several minutes of the site being down.

    Facebook and Instagram were restored at 3:10 p.m. (Philippine time).

    Aside from Facebook and Instagram, users noted that dating app Tinder, AIM and HipChat were also down.

    Globe is so crappy I automatically switch to an IP Proxy to see if it's the site or Globe whenever something like this happens.

    This is the first time it hasn't been Globe.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
