...........while some people make a living using Facebook to gather in business, others, like me, are deliriously happy anytime Zuckerburg stubs his toe! I hope the little America hating punk goes broke!

Facebook is offline leaving billions of workers worldwide unable to do anything except their jobs.

“There are reports that Facebook employees can’t enter their buildings because their “smart” badges and doors were also disabled by this network failure.”
Oh! That takes the entire cake!

Just wanted to throw out a wild idea....
Remember right before the Covid-19 began the UN and WHO conducted a war game on how the world would deal with a worldwide pandemic ???
Didn’t the same organizations conduct a wargame on a major worldwide cyber attack which led to speculation on could it happen again....??
The War Room is talking about other major systems and companies are also having issues....
Not saying any of this is related but it’s a coincidence which I don’t believe in....

Just watch, if FB stays down the sun will rise tomorrow, the birds will sing and if you’re smart you’ll be happy and take joy in the new day.

Here is a bit more on how it happened ... pretty lame.
“Ramenporn also stated that it wasn’t an attack, but a mistaken configuration change made via a web interface. What really stinks — and why Facebook is still down hours later — is that since both BGP and DNS are down, the “connection to the outside world is down, remote access to those tools don’t exist anymore, so the emergency procedure is to gain physical access to the peering routers and do all the configuration locally.”
To: Dr. Scarpetta
“The true cause is that there are no working Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes into Facebook’s sites.”
Lol. Taken down by people in far away places with their s#itty, sloppy routes and protocols. It’s like the garbage avalanche in Idiocracy. Poisoned by the ‘dirty ways of sloppy, little people far away. All the entrances are blocked by trash.

And lame tho it is, Bloomberg is reporting Zuck lost $7B today in net worth. Can it be down for a few more days? I want to hear Zuckerburg ask somebody if they want fries with that order.

Here's the money quote for me:
"There are people now trying to gain access to the peering routers to implement fixes, but the people with physical access is separate from the people with knowledge of how to actually authenticate to the systems and people who know what to actually do, so there is now a logistical challenge with getting all that knowledge unified. Part of this is also due to lower staffing in data centers due to pandemic measures."
So... Employee A can get into the building, but can't login in or actually fix the problem. Employee B can't get into the building, but can login, however they can't fix the problem. Employee C can't get into the building or login, but can fix the problem. And they can't all work together because the person in charge is working from home after getting vaxxed. Ya can't make this stuff up!
