Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp all go down in major outage

It's not though. I just checked.
T-Mobile's down? I use Mint, which uses T-Mobile towers and it's still up for me.
They have had minor shortages and slowdowns as a result of having to pick up the slack from Facebook server data centres, but retards on gab don’t know the difference between this and having a site go down like what’s happened to Facebook.
 
They don't. The card access system connects to the internet for sure, though. This leads me to believe the hack at FB was credible. They probably locked everything down on purpose to get whatever logs they could for analysis. They have no idea who got what and how, so they've isolated everything.

FB is big and valuable enough for a Stuxnet kind of stunt and the door access is very likely on a local network in the building and suspected as a possible vector.
same people who install smart locks on their homes and get rid of car door key slots. Just techbros being shortsighted as usual
Slight PL but I've worked in buildings with connected doors (thus my janitor question) and those were usually set up to like... prevent this. You know it's bad if some place that has nothing more valuable than plasticrap has a better setup for emergencies than these guys.
 
I only use Twitter to use for post on the farms but if it goes down forever.... oh well.
It's the primary mode of communication for my incompetent government.

Wait. I thought I was going to disagree with you. But it hasn't come out like that.

Are you kidding???? Someone just launched a fucking nuclear weapon into FB's database. The fall out from this is going to be...beautiful.

This is almost an act of terorism I can get bihind. Whoever did it is a fucking hero - better change any password you ever had associated with google or if you ever used their keychain on Google chrome - RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.
If this absolute legend destroys twitter next I'll make sure to carve his face name alias whatever in stone.

Not sure if I checked it right but its seems like their stocks are getting slammed.
You can be a little more generous with the dating of the stock chart. Overall, Facebook has been doing very well for themselves, and this is just a small hiccup for them. Unfortunately, stock holders aren't shitting bricks as hard as they normally would be and I'm sure it's because Facebook will be back up eventually. It's not like people are going to stop using Facebook after it comes back up.

if facebook accounts have been hacked and sold, what are the chances that these emial addresses/passwords will be able to be used to get in to other sites?

Didn't something similar happen a few years ago when people hacked the NSA, or something, by using passwords they got in a hotmail hack?

I can't remember the full details.
Very very VERY likely. Most people re-use emails and passwords, and a LOT of websites use Facebook logins to authenticate their own servi...

OH SHIT A LOT OF SITES USE FACEBOOK TO AUTHENTICATE ACCOUNTS. Which they can't do now. So they're dead in the water too.
