Apparently Facebooks Inc’s complete set of DNS record were removed from the global routing table which is what’s causing the outage. Literally no DNS service knows where Facebook is. They don’t even have email or any kind of corporate comms to run the incident. I mean, but for the grace of god go I and all that but that’s really funny. Is there a reason for this? Like is there any coincidence this happens just after that whistleblower came out in the news yesterday? |

Leave it down, for the love of anything.
Does this potentially mean we can go grab that android and kick him in the bollocks a lot until he agrees to stop enabling the worst of humanity.

The irony is WhatsApp is usually the failsafe for most company’s when normal comms are down.

And doesn't strike me as a terribly resilient system. |

It's got to be BGP instead of/as well as DNS though right? Otherwise, we'd be able to get to Facebook via IP address - or am I missing something?

Yeah, it looks like BGP routes got withdrawn and because they host their own DNS servers, RIP Facebook.
I predict a long meeting in my future about this cascaded down by some panicked board member

Is it fixable or is there going to be a bit of a financial crash tomorrow?

The people who are locked out are apparently the people with the credentials and knowledge to actually fix it, so they have a knowledge transfer/logistics issue that they’re probably going to have to break glass on their security to remedy. IE they’re probably going to need to walk an intern through SSHing into their hardware as an admin.

They probably already have, they just couldn’t do it remotely and the server rooms are all, apparently, locked with swipe card locks that no longer work cuz Facebook is down.

Why on earth are their security passes linked to the website in any way?

What I don't get is why their traffic wouldn't be getting routed properly over what I expect would be an internal network. |

Presumably it’s a third party hosted service and the third party needs to communicate with Facebook HQ to work.
Say their locks are run by locks.com and the actual software is in locks.com data centre, it now can’t communicate with its locks on facebooks campus as it needs a route into the network

It's all a bit mad. You'd expect their door system to be totally unconnected to whatever the fuck is going on with their externally facing stuff... Plus any half decent door entry system should cache logins in situations like this.
It must be a monumental fuck up... Look forward to getting some actual details soon instead of all of the guesswork that's floating around.

I mean, I’ve fucked things up before and that hot sweat and sinking feeling in your stomach when you take a system down is never fun. I think I would have actually prolapsed if I was responsible for this
