@jac haha
yep, they are down indeed.Without reading into the facts have they been hacked?

@jac I doubt it. It’s probably due to a deployed fix not working as intended and failing regression testing or a third party service developing a fault.

Their DNS was/is horked up. I presumed they’re DNS admins had royally shot themselves in the foot. But maybe they just pointed stuff to localhost as a way to keep folks from hitting their fubar’d site.
In any event, hopefully the internet gods that be will give 'em the grand spanking they deserve!
Opinionated two bit opinions are my own. Caveat emptor, eh?

I only use it now and again to keep in touch with distant family but I couldn’t care less if it disappeared and never came back.

@jac Exactly that. It’s the signature facility in core slightly modified to suit.

I think you may have replied in the wrong thread mate, but it definitely looks great and let’s everyone know who the content belongs to. Great idea

Thinking about this a bit further it occurs to me that the DNS was likely purposefully pointed to localhost so as to keep billions of users experiencing dopamine withdrawals from bombarding fb every few minutes whilst they scrambled to fix whatever. And were I a betting man, I’d say odds are they got hacked again. Going to be interesting to see how they spin doctor this one.

@gotwf A bit more (perhaps) spin on this from SKY News
My 2c here is that this could well have been a DDoS attack from an entity like Anonymous in response to the Whistleblowing claims mentioned in this article

@phenomlab Meh, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet… Today’s testimony, which I watched live, is tame as a newborn puppy. Comparatively. Check this out. If you’ve the stomach. Be forewarned, some some sick 'chit crosses the “content analysts” desks

@gotwf I get the same issue with the link. Seems ok though so could be related to site security I have in place but will check.

Watched the first few mins and then bizarrely had a chat request on Facebook (believe me I don’t use it, I probably go on it once a fortnight if that to see how the family are etc) anyway the person requesting a chat seemed to send me a link to a dodgy X rated website that I of course didn’t click, but funnily enough as I was watching that first little bit I did think to myself what on earth am I doing with a Facebook account
