Australia names all their corners.

That one is Cameron Corner, and yeah, it’s in the middle of nowhere. It’s an hour and a half drive on a dirt road from the nearest town, of one hundred and thirty-four people.

Daylight savings only really makes sense for people living outside of the tropics, which is why it's only NSW and Victoria (the orange and red states) who are actually changing their times.

All the rest are staying as they are. Western Australia doesn't bother because the whole state is a desert with about 5 people living outside Perth anyway.

Their DNS servers are not responding. At all. And some of them have even disappeared. Basically, the servers that tell the internet, and your machine, how to find them are not responding.

No, not really. Because there is no service. A/AAAA records are missing and BGP routes got deleted. There's noting to Deny Service to, because the service is not there, and there's no associated traffic spike that you'd see with a DDOS.

And even more, if Facebook was experiencing a DDOS, they've weathered worse. I suspect someone did an uh-oh internally.

Imagine if every country had a department in charge of keeping track of every point along their border that touched another country's border, and these departments talked to each other to keep everyone on the same page. Facebook nation accidentally locked the keys inside the office, and now the rest of the world forgot they exist.

We don't know. What we do know:

All of FB's internal tools are down
Their BGP routes got messed up and/or deleted
Their DNS servers are not responding, and in some cases A/AAAA records are completely missing.

It reeks of an internal networking mistake more than an attack, but that is all we know right now. There's no DDOS, because that requires the service to be there in the first place.
