Facebook has clarified that "there was no malicious activity behind" a faulty configuration change that led to a nearly six-hour-long service outage of Facebook, WhatsApp, and
 Instagram on Monday.

 "We also have no evidence that user data was compromised as a result of this downtime," Facebook said. A post claiming "Facebook.com is for sale" went viral shortly after the outage.
