Hi, facebooj domains are removed from DNS worldwide (DNS finds the IP-adress belonging to the domain name of a website), simply put all Facebook domain names are removed from the world wide internet telephone book.

To me it looks like a inside hack or a terrible mistake from the facebook organisation. When it was an external hack it would be claimed by now. Most of facebook internal systems are not reachable also, which I can understand for cloud based system, but domain name requests should normally resolved locally also through some sort of patching, but their DNS keep being rejected, so something is really wrong deep inside their systems.

Seems that Marc Zuckerberg lost 7 million dollar already in advertising income.

It's karma... lol
They banned me (again) last night for 7 days. Today, they crash. I love it. GAB is much friendlier and more open anyway.

Several comments are pointing to an internal error, it looks like something went wrong during a routine BGP update ?

-Something happened, a hack, DDoS or whatever
-Facebook engineers nulled the servers pulling them off the entire Internet for security reasons
-Then they rebooted everything

Pay attention how these things always happen on a Monday. I think the easiest explanation is the most probable. Someone had a bad Monday and screwed something big up. Just another Monday if you ask me lol

Edit: Seee!!

Update about the October 4th outage

To all the people and businesses around the world who depend on us, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by today’s outage across our platforms. We’ve been working as hard as we can to restore…

Like I said, a Monday bug. Mistakes happen. Moving along. No cyber attack.

Based on the first findings by Cisco, I expected that it could only be done from the inside either an internal hack or someone messed up badly. All comments seem to point out to the last (someone messing up), although Marc Zuckerberg says that it "SEEMS" an internal mistake. So he is not 100% sure yet (because they have so much private data, Facebook has to report a breach as soon as they know about it).

Understanding how Facebook disappeared from the Internet

Today at 1651 UTC, we opened an internal incident entitled "Facebook DNS lookup returning SERVFAIL" because we were worried that something was wrong with our DNS resolver 1.1.1.1. But as we were about to post on our public status page we realized something else more serious was going on.
