UPDATE: Facebook Goes Down For Second Time In A Week

Facebook went down Monday for at least the second time in the last week but came back after nearly an hour of outage.

Problems started being reported around 3 p.m. ET. Some users could not access the site at all, while others reported seeing extremely slow service.

Service appeared to resume around 3:50.

Facebook did not immediately return a request for more information from Patch. But the social media giant told CNBC that service went down because of a “configuration issue.”

“We’re currently restoring Facebook services that people had trouble accessing earlier today due to a configuration issue,” Facebook told CNBC. “We’re working to bring things back to normal for everyone.”

During the outage, Facebook users again got the following message: “Sorry, something went wrong. We’re working on it and we’ll get it fixed as soon as we can.”

Instagram, which Facebook owns, was also inaccessible.

Thursday, Facebook went down for a few minutes before springing back into action.

The website downdetector.com, which tells users the status of a website at any give time, was also not responding, presumably due to the high volume of people trying to search for Facebook’s status.
