Three hacker groups claim to have taken down Facebook and Instagram.

Shortly afterward, the cyber intelligence group Cyberint released an article stating that three hacker groups had claimed responsibility for the incident. Specifically, the Anonymous Sudan hacker group boasted about their achievement via Telegram after the incident, stating: "The cyberattack launched by our company and two other hacker groups, Skynet and Godzilla, has brought Facebook down."

Anonymous Sudan hacker group claims to take down Facebook.

Earlier last week, the Skynet hacking group also announced an attack on Facebook, causing delays in access to various services, and this appears to be a prelude to their next move.

However, Cyberint stated that it is still unclear whether the recent outage is related to these three groups. If this is true, this attack would not be the first time these three hacker groups have collaborated. In December 2023, these three groups claimed responsibility for attacking the Discord login page. Prior to that, they also collaborated to plan an attack on OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Every second Facebook is down is worth money.

In a recent statement, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said the issue had been resolved as quickly as possible and apologized to users for the inconvenience caused. However, his tweet did not reveal the reason behind the outage.

Meanwhile, X CEO Elon Musk said he witnessed a surge in users accessing X during Meta's service outages, and didn't forget to post a mocking meme as well as a tweet saying, "If you're reading this, it's because our servers are back online."
