I don't know exactly how they did it, but I don't think it was a DDOS. Facebook was inaccessible to many users, including myself, for about 15 minutes, as The Washington Post noted today. This comes on the morning of the hearing for the Paypal DDOS defendants; incidentally, I was busy corresponding with one of the lawyers and Anon operatives that were present, so I didn't have a chance to ask around about this Facebook matter. Also keep in mind that the courthouse itself was evacuated after some sort of event - even those present still don't know what it was, but the Department of Homeland Security seemed to have been called in.

Hey dude,

 

Can you confirm that this takedown was a Facebook action? Want to make any statements? Been trying to dig stuff up for the last hour but not getting a lot.

 

Thanks,

Andrew
