Disruption on Twitter around the world for a moment. The online platform DownDetector, which examines the whole issue, including the issue of user submissions, reported that more than 40,000 Twitter disruptions were reported in the United States at 11 p.m. on Friday.
On Friday night, there was a brief disturbance on Twitter. Twitter users around the world have complained. According to the social media giant Twitter, an advanced application programming interface has encountered errors. The matter is currently being investigated. However, the company also said that the disruption caused by Twitter has been handled quickly.
The online platform DownDetector, which examines the whole issue, including the issue of user submissions, reported that more than 40,000 Twitter disruptions were reported in the United States at 11 p.m. on Friday. 16,000 complaints have been lodged in Great Britain. Around 2,000 people in India have lodged complaints of disturbances by 11 p.m.
This distraction is for a very short time. Tweets were not visible at that time. There were some misconceptions. The Down Detector tweeted that the problem started at 10:43. However, he said that this was a problem for a very short time. Reddit alleges that some users at the time complained of being logged out of their Twitter accounts.
A few months ago, similar problems occurred with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Three apps (App Down) crashed at around 9:15 pm Indian time on Monday. The first problem was seen on WhatsApp. Users could not exchange any information. Instagram was showing “feed refresh,” and the Facebook page was not uploading. As I was writing this report at 11:30 pm, three apps were still without service.

Nonetheless, a comparison has been made between the crashes of Facebook, Hotspot, and Instagram and a global cyber attack.
Malwaretech Handel and Marcus Hutchins, a well-known cybersecurity expert on Twitter, disputed this information. According to him, there is no possibility of a global cyberattack.
According to him, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp have all been shut down due to a BGP configuration issue. Although not directly, WhatsApp has acknowledged it. According to reports, WhatsApp is experiencing problems now. Efforts are underway to restore normal service. An update will be sent as soon as possible, as well. Cloudflare Senior VP Dane Knecht says the BGP route has been withdrawn from the Internet.
