FB and IG down worldwide

[safetyfirst2125]

NOT TODAY!

 

[BobR51]

Interesting. Even the FB messenger has crashed.

FB will be chalked up as another Covid death.

 

[JRRC]

I've clicked on the FB tab about a dozen times out of pure habit. The struggle is real

 

[42!]

I hope it never comes back

 

[crazymjb]

We'd be better off if it never came back up. I deleted it from my phone over a year ago and I've been better off for it. Messenger is useful for organizing group messages since we all have those android fanbois f***ing up the apple group-texts.

The corrupt tech buffoons who told you 2020 was the safest and most secure and most in unhackable election ever—and who banned you if you said otherwise—currently can’t get into their own building because their own servers won’t let them.

If you use "Jan 6 insurrection" in a conversation your opinion is not worth considering.

Agree, it’s a litmus test at this point.

Companies all over the world have seen a spike in productivity today

I didn’t notice. I don’t use any of their services.

My favorite comment overheard on Howie:

"Now do Twitter!"​

(Might have been Taylor; I fergit).

Is it possible to overdose on schadenfreude? I think I might

<Insert Archer meme here>

About 20 years ago a cousin of mine singlehandedly took down Redmond (Microsoft). She was in a new cube and she was tasked with stress testing NT. The telecom guys mislabeled the plugs. She first realized there was a issue when Bill Gates (and 20 others) walked in her office. ...

I know a guy who took out the building Ethernet at DEC /LJ (Littleton).
He had a known shorted patch cord sitting on his desk
that he used to test the device driver on his own machine.
Some idiot in another cube needed a patch cord,
so he just helped himself to it and brought down the floor for hours.

Ramenporn also stated that it wasn't an attack, but a mistaken configuration change made via a web interface.

I would imagine the productivity of US office and home workers went up 70% today.

 

[jkelly1229]

Not being tech savvy, but reading about all those hackers that hold schools/hospitals/municipalities hostage for Bitcoin and such...

Why aren't places like FB/Google/ IG/Amazon/MySpace/Napster hacked day-in and day-out 24/7 ?

Lol google real time cyber threat map... you don't think they try

Fb probably gets attempted 35k times a second

 

[Lank]

I hope they/them/fems lose billions

Nah lol today was panic tomorrow will be the boost

My guesses:
Either a significant security breach was discovered
or
Some new algorithm was doing something which was supposed to be discreet a little too obvious for their liking and they needed to slam the emergency stop button before it got noticed

My bet. Database migration fail.
Been there in prod. Have the Scars.

Facebook is a pioneer in cache layer utilization. It's cool in that it means things are "instant" in the region of the world where they start, but trickle in to the "core" gradually. Also, it means that if someone facebook posts a night mare in progress in City Y, it can be deleted via a cache-clear in seconds before it goes past perminaintly.

I'm betting that trickery fought them and they looped. IE, pushed a new DC up, but didn't modify the BGP tokens properly to make it its a new space.

With the size of the DB. (I think Facebook useses vitess.io like youtube now)... A "roll back" of something simple could take half a day; easy.

This, but it's obvious a contingency problem caught them off guard....
