Is Facebook down? • Hacker News Board

It seems like a SERVER has been taken down. Due to the large differences in location, it seems like a server(s) that service(s) multiple locations has/have been taken out. People are screaming Anon, but it could be a power outage and have the same effect.

Either way, get ready to change some passwords.

Webmon says: "19 errors in the past 14 minutes"

it seems it's a dns issue.

If it's down for you, try these IPs, to check whether is a DNS problem. ;; ANSWER SECTION: facebook.com. 1690 IN A 69.171.229.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 173.252.100.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 173.252.101.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 66.220.152.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 66.220.158.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 69.171.224.32
