Facebook has finally given a reason for global outage

Facebook said in a blog post that the six-hour outage that took it offline along with Instagram, Messenger, Whatsapp, and OculusVR was the result of a configuration change to its routers — not of a hack or attempt to get at user data.

Iran PressAmerica: The outage began around 11:40 AM ET Monday, and led to widespread problems for the company. It was Facebook’s worst outage since 2019 when the site was down for more than 24 hours.

Late on Monday, Facebook services were slowly coming back online, with the company apologizing for the extended disruption.
