Facebook, the social networking platform used by billions worldwide, went down Wednesday. The crash affected WhatsApp and Instagram as well.
Users around the globe found logging in in impossible. In Israel, users could access Facebook normally by late Wednesday night, although many features, such as posting for some users, were unavailable.
According to some media reports, the site remains down for some users.
The American-based internet company announced, “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. 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,” referring to a “denial-of-service” hacking attempt.
Ironically, Facebook made the announcement on Twitter.
