HUGE INTERNET CRISIS: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp — Twitter, Verizona, Google, AT&T, Telegram, Others are Also Reporting Issues
As reported earlier by Alicia Powe — Without warning, Facebook crashed on Monday morning.
It’s unclear what caused today’s global outage which saw Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram all crash.
The Daily Mail reported:
Facebook’s Chief Technology Officer offered his ‘sincere apologies’ on Monday afternoon as a global outage of the website along with Instagram and WhatsApp stretched into its fifth hour, costing the company $50billion and CEO Mark Zuckerberg $7billion and counting.
The cause of the outage is believed to have been changes made to Facebook’s systems at 11.50am EST.
It is believed they were caused in error and were not a cyber attack, but Facebook is yet to confirm the cause of the outage.
It sparked global outages that are detrimental to online businesses and decimate the company’s ad-wielding power.
At 3.50pm, four hours after the outage began, CTO Mike Schroepfer tweeted: ‘Sincere apologies to everyone impacted by outages of Facebook powered services right now. We are experiencing networking issues and teams are working as fast as possible to debug and restore as fast as possible.’
