Is Facebook under attack today?

It is one lazy Saturday today. A perfect day to just scroll up and down in Facebook and do some Tweets..

But few hours later after my breakfast, or brunch maybe I noticed something weird on Facebook. I can’t see pictures posted in my feeds, I only see blank thumbnails.

A friend said Facebook could be under Malware attack right now. Others reported that their cover photos are gone without any reason at all.

Is Facebook under attack?


My cover page is gone without me changing or removing it manually. It was also confirmed by another friend.

Here are some screen captures I did.


I posted another one in my wall, this is what I see – only a blank thumbnail.

.

There already reports in Forums about this incident and nobody can figure out what is really going on.

UDPATE 1:

Tweaked my privacy settings and disabled security browsing and viola! Photos are back.. BUT, I don’t recommend this browsing unsecured is dangerous. Let us wait until secured browsing brings back the photos that are gone temporarily.

UPDATE 2:

Okay, it is back to normal browsing now. Whew! Still finding out what caused that trouble earlier…

  1. My cover photo is gone! I cant see it, photos in my stream shows blank thumbnail only… How about you? Is FB under attack? Or doing a weird upgrade only?
