LOOK: Facebook users were having issues logging on their accounts and browsing their newsfeed. The facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted an apology for the disruption of facebook mobile application early morning.
I also experienced some technical problems of this application like other netizens. I wondered why some content was not properly loading and couldn't able to see.
Mark said, the facebook is up and running anew which is a goodnews. He didn't mention on his post what was happened on the app.
Facebook (FB), Instagram and WhatsApp all suffered outages midday Monday, according to public statements from the three Facebook services.
Outage tracking site Down Detector logged tens of thousands of reports for each of the services. Facebook's own site would not load at all; Instagram and WhatsApp were accessible, but could not load new content or send messages.
One possible factors is when they were doing network configuration.
Later Monday, Santosh Janardhan, Facebook's VP of infrastructure, released a statement saying the company was "sorry for the inconvenience caused by today's outage across our platforms."
"Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication. This disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt," Janardhan said.
Janardhan said the company has "no evidence that user data was compromised as a result of this downtime."
Earlier, multiple security experts quickly pointed to a Domain Name System (DNS) problem as a possible culprit. Around 1 pm ET, Cisco's internet analysis division ThousandEyes said on Twitter that its tests indicated the outage was due to an ongoing DNS failure. The DNS translates website names into IP addresses that can be read by a computer. It's often called the "phonebook of the internet."
Just few hours downtime so we can take a break. We can still live without internet.
