Update (December 05):

Well, Facebook acted quickly to fix whatever caused the glitch. But the way everyone was logged out of their account did trigger speculations that was there some sort of security breach?

Original story follows:

Last month, Facebook and related services suffered a major downtime which lasted for at least a couple of hours. And today, it’s coming to light that the world’s largest social network is down again in many regions around the world.

While information is scarce at the moment, we are seeing users taking to social media platforms to share that they are not able to log into the service. Take a look:

While we collect more information on the matter, you can follows the #facebookdown hastag on Twitter for continuous user updates on the matter.

This story is developing….

PiunikaWeb is a unique initiative that mainly focuses on investigative journalism. This means we do a lot of hard work to come up with news stories that are either ‘exclusive,’ ‘breaking,’ or ‘curated’ in nature. Perhaps that’s the reason our work has been picked by the likes of Forbes, Foxnews, Gizmodo, TechCrunch, Engadget, The Verge, Macrumors, and more. Do take a tour of our website to get a feel of our work. And if you like what we do, stay connected with us on Twitter (@PiunikaWeb) and other social media channels to receive timely updates on stories we publish.

My interest in technology and writing started back in 2010. Since then, I have written for many leading publications, including Computerworld, GSMArena, TechSpot, HowtoForge, LinuxJournal, and MakeTechEasier to name a few. Here at PiunikaWeb, I started with covering smartphone related breaking stories as well as some other interesting stuff, but now I have switched over to more of a leadership role. I also take care of several operational aspects of the website. Some of my current responsibilities include business development, and working with Piunika to make sure we’re progressing as envisioned. If you want to get in touch, I am active on LinkedIN, and also available on Twitter/X.
