This one right here bothers me the most, because it implies that their badge scanners rely on external DNS servers and holy poo poo is that a terrible thing to do.

I have some bad news for you about the majority of "secure" building infrastructure like this.

Unlikely, since no one can access the data at the moment. No DNS, and more importantly no bgp routing means no one can reach the data centers.

You remember that clip of Bugs Bunny sawing Florida off to go sink in the Caribbean? It's like that - every path to Facebook's data centers is dead. The data center is a literal digital island unto itself

Personal information on 1.5 billion Facebook users allegedly went up for sale on a hacker forum within the last 24 hours. No evidence so far of it being related to the outage, but regardless it would make any worry of data leakage from the outage kind of moot.

Nah, its basically confirmed at this point it was an internal issue, someone's trying to make some money by grifting on the outage.

According to some folks on the NANOG (North American Network Operators Group) mailing list, they were attempting to remove the config for their BGP peering sessions with the NL-ix internet exchange in the Netherlands, and accidentally removed their peering config for *everyone*.

Oops.

I was about to say that this would be the perfect time for Russian hackers to attack Facebook, but why would they do that given its value to them? They're probably the first people Zuck backchanneled to fix the problems.

I heard that when they cut their way inside, there was some sort of standoff against a suicide bomber and terrorists armed with a crew served weapon. They were apparently fanatical about AI.
