3 hacker groups claim to have taken down Facebook and Instagram

Shortly after, the cyber intelligence group Cyberint released an article stating that three hacker groups had claimed responsibility for the incident. Specifically, the hacker group Anonymous Sudan boasted about its achievements through a Telegram group after the incident, stating: "The cyber attack launched by our company and two other hacker groups, Skynet and Godzilla, caused Facebook to stop working."

Anonymous Sudan hacker group announces Facebook takedown

In the middle of last week, the hacker group Skynet also announced an attack on Facebook, causing the service to experience lag when accessing many different services, and this seems to be a warm-up for their next action.

However, Cyberint said it is not yet clear whether the new outage is related to these three groups. If true, this attack is not the first time these three hacker groups have collaborated. In December 2023, the three hacker groups claimed responsibility for an attack on Discord's login page. Before that, they also collaborated to plan an attack on OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Every second Facebook is down is counted in money

In a recent announcement from Meta spokesperson Andy Stone, the company said the issue was 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 saw a wave of users accessing X during the time Meta's services were down, and did not forget to post a mocking meme as well as a tweet with the content "If you are reading this post, it is because our servers are up."
