Cyber attack on Facebook and Whatsapp

[Twospaniels]

Happening now.
Not sure what this means for the average user

Source to confirm it's a cyber attack please?

Ah, that's why my WhatsApp message isn't sending. I thought it was my internet!

Who said it was a cyber attack?

Source please?

Instagram too. It's worldwide.

Its bugging me I cant use it but I didnt think theyd said what the cause is.

If it is a cyber attack this happened a few years ago as well didn’t it, but different websites. I seem to remember Strava was off line for days.

Ah, the explains my FB and WA issues

Oh no, it seems to be affecting anything where you use a Facebook log in as your log in method. I can’t get onto Strava! 🙈

I was so confused why my WhatsApp messages weren't sending, then tried to message people on Facebook and couldn't do that either!

Cyber attack or just an outage because Sam forgot to switch his out of office notice back on this morning? #flippant

Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram suffer outage www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58793174

Stop it with the cyber attack drama OP 🙄

Ah that’s why WhatsApp won’t connect, I thought my phone was being a twat!

Ah, same here!

It’s not a cyber attack according to this Twitter account

I was confused as I thought my internet wasn’t working but I could use Mumsnet but not FB, Instagram or What’s app!

Source please - news stations reporting outage but not cyber attack.

Will no one think of the frustrated influencers?!~%

They’ll be tantrums galore if they can’t get those affiliate links up tonight.

Was coming on here to see if it was my internet or what was going on. Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram not working atm

What is a BGP configuration error?

Oddly, my wa is working, but not my FB.

Where did you read that it was a cyber attack @Twospaniels?

Must be awful for all those who can't photograph their food and their smiley faces clinking their wine glasses.

Thought my internet was being slow as couldn't get FB to show anything!

Me too 😂😞
