After the bombshell from the 'whistleblower' yesterday, FB is in trouble. My guess is they shut off the servers completely from the outside world, are restructuring their algorithm, and will be up and running in a few days. Tech savvy guys are trying to wrap their heads around the root cause as they are assuming the outages are just a symptom. Pinging the servers myself gets the same result, they don't exist.
from a sub contractor on their property:
" But right now.. bro I don't know how to describe it. All internal utilities that aren't security related are f****** DOA. Like we know the physical locations of the racks where the utilities are housed on site. I can walk over and touch them if i plug into them directly i can use them. But anywhere else they're just gone."
Others are saying its a full DNS wipe. Not quite sure the ramifications of that. The question you gotta ask is.. what's so bad that Facebook would willingly do something that drastic to get out ahead of??
