Anon attacked Facebook

[Sir_Tor]

So as I were trying to get into my facebook I was met with a white page with some text. it said something about DNS failure. 1 hour later it was still there. So I went onto /b/ to see if it was them. It sure was!

I don't have many details but the picture attached to the post had "Facebook" written next to a swastika. Under it there is some text saying "The site who ignored 500 million users" and some additional text. From what I can make out of it they have a problem that facebook users now can flag friend requests and saw that as racist or something.

Thoughts? Was it good or bad?

Personally I can't see why they would bother with something like that. And now how can I know for sure that someone wrote a funny thing on my wall

(I will not link to /b/, it's just a google search away mate)

EDIT: I might have been wrong about /b/ doing it, but would it really surprise you if they did?

Hey it's working again

 

[Blue_vision]

I lied, it's still fucked

 

[Mcupobob]

Oh so thats why its down. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I think the whole flagging friend request thing is to help stop scammers and pedos.

EDIT: Its back up again for me anyways.

Crap, you got me with that one.

Facebook is fine for me. Not targeting UK servers?

Also Facebook would have a shed load of servers, being one of the richest/most visited sites on the net and all, how would they have taken it down?

 

[rokkolpo]

oh /b/ silly you.

 

[Claptrap]

Ehh, Well...Does anyone really care? It won't take long to get back up.

EDIT: I just checked facebook and it's fine for me.

 

[Macgyvercas]

So that's what happened.

Huh. Wonder what facebook did to piss Anon off.

 

[Badger Kyre]

There have been some pretty serious implicatiosn laid at the feet of Facebook - we used to call this "data-mining".
I don't trust FB, and I don't trust where their $ purports to have come from.

The Web is getting as OVERTLY weird as Stephenson promised us with Snow Crash.

Ermm, I was just on /b/, and most of them are pissed about it. And one post on /b/ does not warrant the entire board. Some guy was just telling /b/ about it.

the first rule of the internet is never piss off Anon

As soon as Facebook went down I said it was a DDOS. Cue my family not knowing what a DDOS was.

And of course I'm not surprised to see our friends at Anonymous being behind it.

You think a DDoS would work on Facebook?

 

[Pimppeter2]

Ah, so that explains why it went down.

Fuck them, I was in the middle of a conversation.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Really, Anonymous? I thought the DNS servers were just down and now running a little slowly...

EDIT

I stand corrected DDoS attack it was...

 

[creepy_rabbit]

Sigh!
Fucking anon...Computer nerds that want to mean something, so they do it by being part of a "badass" internet-prankster group...pathetic.

OT: Could not care less, anons attempts to become scary or rebellious are still very poor.

 

[AlmostLikeLife]

My facebook is still effed right now.

Damn /b/, just can't let us sane internet users have anything, can you?

I think you'll find it just did.
