Right now, some users are reporting that Facebook is down while others are reporting itermittent issues, but it appears to be widespread. The company keeps track of API errors and slow load times of the developer website and those have almost tripled in the last few minutes.

It appears the issues only affect users in particular countries, as Facebook's servers are distributed around the world. Downforeveryoneorjustme.com reports that Facebook is "down" at time of writing.
AnonSec has claimed responsiblity for the issues, citing a DDOS attack underway. Anonymous had an attack planned for January 28, making this attack 3 days ahead of schedule.
Update: It looks like the site is recovering, slowly. Load times are still high, but most can access the site now.
