Facebook and Instagram appear to be partially reconnected to global internet, after nearly six hours into an outage that paralysed the social media platforms
Computer scientists speculate that a bug introduced by a configuration change in Facebook’s routing management system could be to blame.
Facebook's family of apps essentially "disappeared" from the internet for several hours after a traffic routing problem that made the sites unreachable by users, said Cloudflare on Tuesday, a website security company. Shares of Facebook, which has nearly 2 billion daily active users, opened lower after the weekend whistleblower report and slipped further to trade down 5.3 percent in afternoon trading on Monday.
We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.Facebook was inaccessible because users were not being directed to the correct place by the Domain Name System. Facebook itself controls the relevant settings, suggesting the problem was an internal one.
