Yeah I have a feeling this is a serious and deliberate attack what with the DNS not even resolving. And what with the big 60 Minutes show last night with that lady showing all the documentation about how they covered stuff up.
DOWN? Oh, no! Say it ain’t so! How will I get news? How will I know what important people are thinking about stuff? How will I know what people are saying about me? How will I live? H… H… (oops. I seem to have used up my entire stockpile of sarcasm, so I will have to wait for it to recharge.)
Well damn. If this is true (and so far, it seems like it is), a bunch of network people are having a really shitty day and a bunch of others are probably already fired.
Reddit r/Sysadmin user that claims to be on the “Recovery Team” for this ongoing issue:
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.
@Bingo Our network senior manager where I work isn’t allowed at the data center unsupervised. Everytime in inadvertently kicks a cord knocking a system or our website offline.
Just coming back tot his thread. It affects so much. People are flocking to different apps (a person I follow on TT posted a bit about it and had 2.2 million views in 30 minutes!)Their stock is falling price… so it may be time to buy if you were interested in that… although it’s still over $325 per share at this time.
yep… every single connection point. Both PC and mobile
dang dns records

@Bingo I didn’t see that I’ll have to look it up
Without a doubt, there are going to be users on other platforms cheering that they’re down.
@narfcake facebook is down… but you know what’s up? Parler is up.

@narfcake @sohmageek I’m sure 8Kun is getting more traffic from those who need their Q updates.
DOWN?
Oh, no! Say it ain’t so!

@rockblossom Where will I get health & science information?
@blaineg Well, there’s always Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend in Trinidad.
worse… insta is down, too!!
Well, shit. I’m bummed because Failbook is how I keep in touch with everyone. It’s pretty much my only social life. Sad but true.

Ars notes that they crashed their own systems so hard, that badge readers on doors are not working.

@f00l
ok, I thought it was just me. But also the app store had an update that I had not clicked on and everything worked.
Facebook? Is that a service you have to sign up for or something???
I knew not having an account would come in handy…
