Thousands of Facebook users who have been unable to access their account for nearly a week and a half now are now seeing their profiles restored--but some data related to recent profile updates may have been lost.

The company has stressed that there is no chance that it was due to hackers or other malicious activity.

Profiles should be restored over the course of the next day, the company estimates.
