NOT SO FAST: Facebook denied in a statement that any outside party was responsible for the outages.
FRANKFURT: Access to Facebook, the world's largest social network, and its Instagram photo-sharing site, was blocked around the world for up to an hour on Jan 27, which the company said later was due to an internal fault and not an outside attack.
The outage at Facebook, which started around 0600 GMT, appeared to spill over and temporarily slow or block traffic to other major Internet sites, according to web and mobile user reports from around the globe.
