Yep. The only way that it could be "hacking" isn't by attacking BGP like some people are claiming. Someone would either have to have found a way to breach FB so badly that they have full control of the most critical part of their infrastructure and take it down from inside (not likely). Or they'd have to have control of either the BGP provider or the global root servers. Slightly more likely I suppose but way more scary.
Couldn’t say, haven’t been monitoring threatmaps. Doesn’t fit their MO in my opinion. Usually them and China like DDoSing stuff to death. Methinks if this is an external attack it’d have to be extremely precise with a high likelihood of someone internal being involved to assist.
Agreed, honestly I don't know that Russia hass the access without help. Inside? Honestly insiders would have to be IT, and they could probably do it on their own if they already had that kind of access.
For those saying hacking:

You think maybe Russia could be behind this? They were warning Fakebook last week about CP being on their network.
