Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp all go down in major outage

[libRT]

DNS servers are discovered to be withdrawn.
Authoritative name server ranges had been BGP withdrawn.

This is painful to read.

BGP update rekd the routers, apparently blacklisted basically everything, including facebook so the people updating the router can no longer access it and no one at the DC has access

DNS records 'withdrawn', however since facebook runs their own DNS servers, it might be the BGP routing fuckup that isolated them from the internet and the TTL on the propagated entries ran out.

It just seems really suspicious, if the DNS servers are in a DC, why are facebook updating the BGP routers? Isn't the network perimeter the responsibility of the DC? If it isn't, why isn't there a backup connection, or some form of disaster recovery in place?

In case anyone is curious about this, it is referencing CyberPolygon, a tech conference hosted by the world economic forum. There was a discussion on what if a cyber attack had covid 19 like effects. Here is an article summing what went on during the conference
Here is an article that talks about the conference

Here is the video describing a cyber-attack with covid 19 like characteristics

I'm sure it is widely disliked due to the fact WEF reported about a pandemic situation a year before Covid 19 so people find it suspicious. Frankly, it is weird.

Yup it's back, wonder how many retards will be getting their dox leaked by this though.

Well, guess I might as well admit it. The Russian hackers have my dox now, so no sense hiding it anymore.

the Ron Paul stuff was posted by my cat.
and all those bigtitty chicks in my friends list are actually my family members and not Phillipino hackers, I swear to God.

I throw myself on your mercy, internet. Please be gentle.

I was going to make a snarky post about making sure the Twitter @ has eBaumsWorld with a blue checkmark, but then I started thinking - maybe Zoomers genuinely don't know what "Anonymous" means? And honestly believe you can have "Anonymous" claim responsibility for a van attack, in the same way Hamas, or the Democratic Party, or Facebook staff, can claim responsibility for stuff?

Anonymous is as far removed from young people today as Usenet and Phreakers were when I was a wee bairn.

I remember back in my day!!!!
“Something something masks something something AIDS something pools something something it’s not gay if you don’t swallow something something legion”

The consequences of social media have been an unmitigated disaster for the human race and we have only just begun to collect the oceans of blood that will be spilled to pay for it.

And I do mean that literally. I expect on the low end 10% of the western worlds population will die in the 21st century as a direct consequence of social media's impact on our society. Which would still make it far less destructive then the printing press in the 16th century.

welp it was fun while it lasted.

Do you think this has to do with the fact the USA will be broke by Oct 18? lol

What? Why?

 

[Slutpuppies]

Will the Farms outlast Facebook? Let's find out I guess.

 

[Autistic Sandwich]

Facebook is back.

All those posts were mine, fuck you, Zuck. It wasn't the damn Russians and you know it.
I did actually not have any friends because actually using the site for social activities is too gay.

Have mercy internet, I have cats to feed.

It will. In our hearts

Any time anything significant happens there will be droves of morons speculating about what is really going on without any consideration of the motives of suspected parties and whether or not it would even make sense for them to do what they suspect. People that believe facebook is a honeypot for glowies to control the flow of information and to get data on tax cattle also believe that glowies are intentionally shutting down their honeypot. I have no idea what is true and I'm open to almost any of it being true, but the asinine conclusions people jump to is just embarrassing.

Facebook is a site for boomers that makes money by selling info about what you like to advertisers and ads themselves. It's not the cia or whatever group you blame, it's facebook wanting to look good to the governments they operate in and appealing to the social agenda of the time they live in. Gab speds are too busy talking about crazy shit to push for meaningful stuff like breaking these companies up or punishing them when they leak the data of billions of users. They are too busy hoping Q will save them, vaxxers will die in the street and that the internet will fall apart because facebook was down for less than 24 hours.

Oculus.com is back

Edit: I'm only invested in the VR side of this whole fiasco

 

[Private Pyle]

Facebook being shut down for 24 hours, let alone for good, was always a long shot, hurtful as it is to say.

The only true sadness I have in this event in that it wasn’t Twitter or Reddit; oh to see the reactions in people being unable to tweet or upvote for nine hours.

 

[Da Grim Reaper]

This is reminding of something I read at the very start of the pandemic, something something dark winter, something something Klaus Schwab talking about a certain "Cyber Blackout" or something like that.
It seems that the pandemic is only the beginning.
Also, I remember reading an article YESTERDAY about the UK launching cyber attacks on "rogue nations", like Iran, Syria, Russia, DPRK, and China. You know, the "bad guys?"
I wonder if all of this is a counter attack.

EDIT:

Britain to carry out ‘offensive’ cyber attacks from new £5bn digital warfare centre

In an interview with The Telegraph, Ben Wallace says Britain will act in response to assaults by 'hostile states' such as Russia

HM... OK, THIS IS WEIRD. 2 DAYS AGO?

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Just a gentle reminder that if Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and WhatsApp were to shut down and someone found out about a little site like Kiwi Farms and migrated here, what makes you think those people won’t try to shut down this site “accidentally”?

Let’s not be daft here. The fact that a global corporation like Facebook was to shut down temporarily and was able to come back online is just proof that George Carlin’s words still resonate after all these years:

 

[Next Task]

As someone who dislikes Facebook intensely but thinks Twitter is worse, I have mixed feelings. Considering all the posts wishing this had happened to Twitter as well, the main source of information as to what was going on in this thread were from Twitter.

Facebook showing weakness is great, but it's only one factor. Imagine the reaction from journalists if Twitter went down for even a few days. It would be worth it even if I never saw their reactions, just knowing the panic from no longer being able to write clickbait based on what a couple of people on Twitter were saying.

Tl;dr: All the big players need hobbling. They never learn the right lessons from shit like this, though.

• Supposedly this included inability to get into offices since key cards do not work.

Literally made the soy face, holy shit this is bad. This makes the time Twitter was brought to its knees for a few hours by literal script kiddes look like a failed DDoS attack.
