Social media giants Facebook and Instagram denied that their services were hacked today, instead blaming a 40-minute outage on an internal systems issue.
The sites were unavailable across the world earlier today, with a hacking group appearing to claim responsibility for the outage.
A spokesman for Facebook, which owns Instagram, said: "Earlier today many people had trouble accessing Facebook and Instagram. This was not the result of a third party attack but instead occurred after we introduced a change that affected our configuration systems.
"We moved quickly to fix the problem, and both services are back to 100% for everyone."
