Ah, thank the lord for that. Means I can't reply to my friend, but he'll understand if Zuckerberg's empire has gone titsup.
Did someone trip over the power cable?
Ah, if someone has hacked them and installed ransomware i'd pay to not have them restored.
Is that why I can't login? Oh well. I'm devastated.
Great. I’m into it. Humanity peaked in 1999 anyway.
So the downfall of society is down to the Millennium Bug!!?? I knew it would get us in the end.
Discord too, it looks like.
Aww crap, that explains why I couldn't get into WhatsApp and I am now in a password reset loop as it can't complete..
"X" is definitely not good enough.

Cleaner unplugged the power to plug the Dyson in 😉
Is the new forum tagline "Less outages than Facebook"?
Shame.
That would explain it.
We're doomed, doomed I tell you.
Should be a very productive day.
It's interesting to think how many things i've got SSO'd to facebook
Aww crap, that explains why I couldn’t get into WhatsApp and I am now in a password reset loop as it can’t complete..
WA is working.
Unless you use your FB profile to login or something?
And, for me at least, my Google account imploded at exactly the same time – I tried logging in, it didn't recognise passwords, then eventually asked for my Yubikey device to log-on about 5 minutes later.
Where will I get my misinformation from now?
“Less outages than Facebook”
*Fewer
Sorry, we have standards to keep up.
FB seems to be working for me....
No, some can login and some can’t. I can access most META on my iPhone but not the magic ipad.
Down detector is showing the same spike for loads of providers.
Chakaping - sorry, I wasn't clear - I was trying to reset my password for FB, and it wanted to send a code to my WhatsApp - code didn't arrive.
Crucial Red Sea data cables cut, telecoms firm says
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68478828
I thought that was yesterday. Maybe someone is working their way through a few cables
Says 2hrs ago on the report. 🤷♂️
And we're back.
Apologies for the delay - I was out riding my bike.
Says 2hrs ago on the report.
Yeah mine started being unstable a couple of hours ago.

Pretty sure we're not getting our social media from servers in the middle east!It'll all be from ones in the UK.
NB Sub sea fibres getting cut is really common, normally ships dragging anchors or undersea plate movements. They have repair ships who endlessly hook up the broken ends, patch them back together then just sail on to the next one....
Nearly everywhere will be connected in ring configuration of some sort, so loss of any one cable isn't catastrophic.

We are truly in the End Times.
I assumed Drac's ipad has a direct connection to 'The Internet', which is why everything always works for him...
Says 2hrs ago on the report.
Yep but I thought i saw something yesterday about another cable being cut. Thought maybe someone is playing with a snorkel and a pair of snips
Oh Shucks. I have just read about this on the News having just spent the last hour trying to work out why I cannot log in to FB on my new PC that I finally finished setting up at around 3.30 this afternoon. Not only that but all my other computers and phones went down at the same time making me convinced it was something I had done trying to sort the 2 factor authentication out. Well there is an hour of my life I won't get back. Thanks META.
Meanwhile you've given all your passwords that you use for other things and tried out to the hackers.....
It'd be nice if the Ukrainian techies could counter all the RuskyBot crap all over these platforms.
Every time I get my hopes up for an apocalypse it's a false alarm.
Never mind, we’re good. 💤
Never heard of it.
That explains why I was booted out of my FB and Messenger accounts this afternoon. I could have done without FB would not have missed it after a week or two but I use messenger a lot
We are truly in the End Times.
And it was told.
Ah, good old STW, people on the internet, moaning about the people on the internet 🤣

It’s very meta.

While being fired on by Houthi forces with missiles…
Dramatically complicating the process.

Cables cut ?. Information for the whole region under the sea and they were cut(or caught by an anchor as per the US propaganda department), but even then thats also a smokescreen.
.
These cables are routinely intercepted and rather than cut to destroy, they effectively 'phone tap' them, which is probably what has happened here, and the only people capable of putting down divers to install listening or information gathering is more than likely going to be the Americans themselves.
.
But the above is by the by. Just how the big players gather intelligence, and we've known thats one method used for as long as we've had easily accessed cables running under the sea.
Facebook goes down, discord, etc is probably nothing to do with cables in the middle east, and all the data and the servers for Europe and the US are in Europe and the US.. Damage to information carrying lines that were to become damaged would affect that region, but not anything in Europe. So whatever has happened is nothing to do with these particular systems.
