Facebook Confirms DoS Attack Same Day as Twitter

Facebook reported on its own Facebook profile Thursday that users may have had trouble accessing the site or its services because of the attack, but that the situation seemed well in hand by late morning in California, where the company is located.



"We have restored full access for most people," the company reported. "We'll keep monitoring the situation to make sure you have the reliable experience you expect from us."
