Many social media enthusiast and online traders can now heave a sigh of relief after the three global applications was restored to full service.

Recall that these three Apps practically shut down due to what is considered a “hacker’s threat”.

Joint owners of these three apps had released a statement in the wake of the brouhaha saying:

“Facebook services spanning Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook itself have been shut down following an attempt to hijack the company’s domain name. 

There has been a widely reported inability to access the services since Monday afternoon after a yet to be identified hacker nuked the DNS A; an address file that holds an IP address of the domain name and AAA records for Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp”.

The statement further read that:“We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible.”

The main domain of Facebook company: Facebook.com is now available for purchase. 

Details of the hack are yet to unravel”.
