ahh the old update issue, IT was pushing those all the time without testing by users at one place I worked at and 90% of the time there were all kinds of issues.Here is what is known…
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus are down. Here’s what we know [Updated]
The root cause of the worldwide outage appears to be a flubbed BGP route update.arstechnica.com
Yep, it's affecting a lot more than just social media too apparently.Did you hear anything about FB and couple others being down with undetermined time to be back up today? Even had reports of various wifi issues.
White hats as in Q white hats?Yup. Hopefully the white hats are playing games with them
My thoughts exactlyLol! Facebook goes down and a thread is started. Give it up.
That be a good reason for him to off himself sending a message to his facetard family!I saw a headline on msn saying that corkzuckerberg has lost $7B on stock falling. What a shame.

If that is accurate, it's a pretty impressive screw up. I've hosed a router so bad that console access didn't even work anymore, but was able to walk a datacenter tech through breaking in and getting a backed up config loaded. All in under an hr./u/ramenporn Update 1440 UTC:
As many of you know, DNS for FB services has been affected and this is likely a symptom of the actual issue, and that's that BGP peering with Facebook peering routers has gone down, very likely due to a configuration change that went into effect shortly before the outages happened (started roughly 1540 UTC).
There are people now trying to gain access to the peering routers to implement fixes, but the people with physical access is separate from the people with knowledge of how to actually authenticate to the systems and people who know what to actually do, so there is now a logistical challenge with getting all that knowledge unified.
Part of this is also due to lower staffing in data centers due to pandemic measures.
Update from /u/ramenporn
No discussion that I'm aware of yet that is considering a threat/attack vector.
I believe the original change was 'automatic' (as in configuration done via a web interface). However, now that connection to the outside world is down, remote access to those tools don't exist anymore, so the emergency procedure is to gain physical access to the peering routers and do all the configuration locally.
I told Hillary he has hard copies of her emails about the laundering of the clinton foundation Haitian scam money.That be a good reason for him to off himself sending a message to his facetard family!
Good idea! How much did it drop out of curiosity. Smart of you to jump on this. Feels like their stock could only go up.I bought some FB call options after seeing how far their stock fell. So either I will turn a nice little profit on it, or I will lose out but be happy anyway seeing how much they lose.
