Facebook Confirms DoS Attack Same Day as Twitter



Popular social-networking site Facebook was hit with a DoS (denial-of-service) attack Thursday, but the attack did not appear to be as severe as one that crippled Twitter the same day.



Facebook reported on its own Facebook profile Thursday that users may have had trouble accessing the site or its services because of the attack, but that the situation seemed well in hand by late morning in California, where the company is located.



"We have restored full access for most people," the company reported. "We'll keep monitoring the situation to make sure you have the reliable experience you expect from us."
