A handful of social media sites became inaccessible on Monday, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitch. Some blamed an alleged DDoS attack on the U.S., but some T-Mobile outages seemed to be the root of most issues.
The DDoS attack was alleged by a handful of tracking sites on Monday and later addressed by an account claiming to be affiliated with the covert online group known as Anonymous. As this all happened, T-Mobile’s cellular network became unusable due to some errors on their end, adding to the confusion. Neville Ray, T-Mobile’s President of Technology, provided updates to customers on Twitter, assuring them that they were working to solve the outage.

Data services are now available & some calls are completing. Alternate services like WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage, Facetime etc. are available. Thanks for your patience. https://t.co/uQiGSAFEAH
Given the widespread outage, a number of T-Mobile customers do what’s often done in scenarios like this: head to Twitter and vent their frustration.
