Updated It
appears Facebook and its snap-slinging subsidiary Instagram have fallen off the
web. Hook-up-finder Tinder is also reportedly having problems.
As of 22.45 Pacific Time on Monday, (06.45 UTC Tuesday) the
websites and apps are apparently still suffering a widespread outage, which
kicked off about 40 minutes ago.
Facebook bought Instagram for $715m in 2012, and snapped up WhatsApp for $22bn last year. It's hoped the
chat app will remain up and running while its sister sites are down, leaving
millions unable to use their accounts.
There's no word on why Tinder is down, though. Presumably
the FBI will turn up soon to blame North Korea.
"We're aware of an outage affecting Instagram and are
working on a fix. Thank you for your patience," said
an Instagram spokesman on arch-rival Twitter as El Reg was going to
press.
It's possible Facebook et al are facing a distributed
denial-of-service attack; millions of people constantly hitting refresh in
their web browsers could be exacerbating whatever has knocked the sites
offline, though. Lizard Squad appears to be gloating
about the downtime, but that could mean anything and nothing.
The downtime comes right as the US East Coast prepares to be
hit by an incoming snow storm: we have no idea how they'll cope
penned up indoors without being able to swap pics and tales of the cold – nor
keep warm with the help of Tinder.
