No evidence that it’s intentional but….. What’s going to be the big headline tonight? A Facebook whistleblower or a global outage that kept everyone from arguing all day long? -richey From: NANOG <nanog-bounces+richey.goldberg=gmail.com () nanog org> on behalf of Jay Hennigan <jay () west net> Date: Monday, October 4, 2021 at 3:30 PM To: nanog () nanog org <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Re: massive facebook outage presently On 10/4/21 12:11, bzs () theworld com wrote:
Although I believe it's generally true that if a company appears prominently in the news it's liable to be attacked I assume because the miscreants sit around thinking "hmm, who shall we attack today oh look at that shiny headline!" I'd hate to ascribe any altruistic motivation w/o some evidence like even a credible twitter post (maybe they posted that on FB? :-)
I personally believe that the outage was caused by human error and not something malicious. Time will tell. However, if you missed the 60 Minutes piece, it was a former employee who spoke out with some rather powerful observations. I don't think that this type of worldwide outage was caused by an outside bad actor. It is certainly within the realm of possibility that it was an inside job.
