Facebook.com Is for Sale as Worldwide Outage, Whistleblower, and Massive User Data Breach Collide in Perfect Storm
The Liberty Daily ^ | 10/4/2021 | J.D. Rucker

Posted on 10/04/2021 12:18:18 PM PDT by Beave Meister

Facebook is down, and not in a minor way. The Big Tech mammoth is down worldwide in a way in which they will not be able to easily recover as the DNS A and AAA records have been deleted. Technically speaking, facebook.com is now for sale.

They’re not alone. Instagram, WhatsApp, and others have also been affected in the same way. It’s clearly a coordinated attack on a massive scale, though it’s unclear how it was pulled off. We’re not talking about a simple DDoS attack. This is catastrophic and would have required high-level access to certain protocols that one cannot get from the outside.

...and maybe it’s on purpose....”Re-set” is very popular worldwide these days.

I just went and asked her, and she said she did talk to someone else. So I don’t know what to make of all these claims.

Just nonsense as is typical of the author of this article.

I'd tend to agree, but I'm trying to sort out who this Sheera Frenkel is. Apparently she is a "prize-winning technology reporter based in San Francisco." And she is reporting on twitter about employees being locked out of buildings.

I haven't the slightest idea about her past reporting.

She may be a quack too for all I know. But she's an additional voice to that of Rucker.

I'm not being so quick to write this off as a simple routine outage requiring a few reboots or dns updates.

I’m waiting to see how many bitcoins they need to send to get their systems back. Maybe all of them...

My wife just got on using her smart phone. I’ve never been on facebook myself.

You can "get on". The problem is that you can no longer post/comment etc. No new content is appearing on people's feeds. So you can still see stuff that is hours old, but nothing new. Have her try to comment on something.

“the DNS A and AAA records have been deleted.”

Certainly those are backed up ????

I don’t believe the article.

Never been on fb.

Just tired reaching the site.

White page with this:

“Sorry, something went wrong.
We’re working on it and we’ll get it fixed as soon as we can”

😄

Agreed! No sympathy from me. I have been in Facebook jail a few times because FB hates Christian conservatives.

These are the same bozos we partner our national defense networking with.

Feel safer, bunky?
