I bet their new underwater lines were assaulted by dolphins again.

That tends to happen where they lay deep water infrastructure and then fucking whales wreck the shit, and I mean you will see them do full underwater somersaults and slap that shit with their tail. Worse than dogs chewing wires IMO.
 
I think that’s not a realistic possibility. Facebook wouldn’t shut their stuff down just because they leak some data, that’s just not the kind of company they are. And shutting down everything won’t stop a more determined attacker that’s inside their network, as they will have secondary network access outside Facebook. In any case, completely shutting down the company operations for an indeterminate time is very expensive and if intentional, the flip-side has to be at least as costly. Ballpark figure billions of dollars.
Makes sense. I got the idea that'd be an extreme and probably stupid option, but i suppose companies are dumb sometimes.

Wait... so taking a system designed to be massively decentralized to the point of being impossible to take down... and centralizing all of it onto a limited number of server clusters so that a single system failure can take down half of it... is a bad idea?

On the one hand it makes keeping up with family in Burgerland harder, because all anyone uses is Facebook for everything. On the other hand I really want to see it all burn. Fuckit learn to just write e-mail like a real internet caveman.
Use this as a way to introduce them to something that doesn't suck their data up like I suck cock.
