This made it impossible to do things at every level, eve entering the office building. What exacerbated the problem was the fact that Facebook's internal systems too had gone down.
"Facebook basically locked its keys in its car," tweeted Jonathan Zittrain, director of Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. Security experts said an inadvertent mistake or sabotage by an insider were both plausible. The failures of internal communication tools and other resources that depend on that same network in order to work compounded the error, the employees said. Several Facebook employees who declined to be named said that they believed that the outage was caused by an internal mistake in how internet traffic is routed to its systems.
Instagram, which too had gone down, tweeted this, “Instagram is slowly but surely coming back now – thanks for dealing with us and sorry for the wait!” We will continue to keep you updated when we have more information to share." We're starting to slowly and carefully get WhatsApp working again. WhatsApp tweeted this to its users, “Apologies to everyone who hasn't been able to use WhatsApp today.
