Facebook denies attack brought down its site, blames technical hitch

Facebook, the world’s largest social network, and its Instagram photo-sharing site, suffered interim blackouts around the world for up to 60 minutes on Tuesday (27th Jan) and the organization said later that an inward programming systems administration error was to be faulted.

The outrage at Facebook seemed to overflow and temporarily slow or block traffic to other major Internet sites, as per web and mobile client reports from around the globe.
