an erroneous BGP config change was pushed this morning

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. permalink source embed save save-RES parent report give award reply hide child comments

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger are down due to a BPG configuration error, not a DDoS attack.

Mikael Thalen ... @MikaelThalen Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger are down due to a BPG configuration error, not a DD0S attack. The global maps you see that purport to show live attacks are largely useless and shouldn't be relied upon to diagnose connectivity issues online. ר7דק facebook Facebook is down, along with Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Oculus VR It's always DNS.

this is the equivalent of a "snow day" at the company.

Ryan Mac @RMac18 ... Not only are Facebook's services and apps down for the public, its internal tools and communications platforms, including Workplace, are out as well. No one can do any work.
