Is Facebook still undergoing issues with downtime and DDOS? I was using my account without any issues since yesterday but now it appears that I have been denied access as well. The reason is that the site is undergoing maintenance, great. Half my colleagues can access it and I am left staring at the screen, Facebook people if you are reading this please give me back my access.

Twitter had a terrible day and it wasn’t just Twitter, but other social services including Facebook suffered the same. Though the downtime that Facebook went through wasn’t as prolonged it did affect quite a lot. Reports held a massive DDOS attack responsible for the downtime and both Facebook and Twitter are trying to figure out the real cause behind this. I guess the outage was quite sporadic at Facebook unlike Twitter where it was much widespread (as usual).
