I have a serious disdain for Facebook users. They obsess over FB as if it's a fundamental requirement of living.

It is. A lot of people do marketing and business via facebook. I have seen it numerous times. Facebook works better in some cases than junkmail, olx, bidorbuy for instance, if you are part of a active group that deals with trades and sells.

An unknown Mil/Gov attack site, originating from what looks like Bouvet Island or thereabouts, which is under Norway's "control". There's another one just south of Ghana as well which is blurred out of Google Maps imagery. It may also be a mobile unit on a ship?

Not quite sure.

FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM HACKED, LIZARD SQUAD CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY BY COD SATRUSAYANG, DPA

Several popular social networking sites including Facebook and Instagram suffered widespread outages Tuesday before coming back online several hours later.

No official reason for the disruption was given, but a hacker group that calls itself Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for the blackout in a Twitter post.

Image-sharing social network Instagram posted on Twitter on Tuesday that it was aware of the problem and was "working on a fix."

Lizard Squad, also on Twitter, warned there was "more to come" and that the group was "organizing the [Malaysia Airlines] email dump."

The message referred to Malaysia Airlines' website, which was blocked by hackers on Monday.

The site MalaysiaAirlines.com showed messages saying, "Lizard Squad Will Prevail" and "404-Plane Not Found," and a picture of a lizard in a tuxedo with a pipe in its mouth.

Below the photo was a caption: "Hacked by Lizard Squad: Official Cyber Caliphate."

The Lizard Squad group in December claimed to crash the online services of gaming consoles Xbox and PlayStation the day after Christmas.

There are more than 1.35 billion active users on Facebook. Instagram has more than 100 million active users since the company launched in 2010.
