Hackers Claim Facebook And Instagram Attack ------------------------------------------------- Websites including Facebook, Tinder and Instagram have temporarily gone down - leaving millions of users worldwide unable to log in. Facebook users in the UK, US, Asia and Australia complained of being locked out of the worlds largest social network. Instagram - owned by Facebook - told users via its Twitter account that it was aware of an outage and was working on a fix. AIM and Hipchat are also thought to have been affected. There was no immediate statement from Facebook, which went down for around an hour before normal service resumed. Hacking group Lizard Squad - which recently claimed responsibility for a Christmas Day attack on PlayStation and Xbox Live services - said on Twitter that it was responsible for the problems. The incident came a day after the group said it had hacked the Malaysia Airlines website - posting the message: 404 - Plane Not Found. Hacked by Cyber Caliphate. Facebook had 1.25 billion monthly active users at the end of September.
