Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp went offline for users across the globe. Latest news updates, the error message on the webpage of Facebook Inc suggested a problem with Domain Name System (DNS). Security experts tracking the situation said the outage could have been triggered by a configuration error. This configuration error could be the result of an internal mistake, though sabotage by an insider would be theoretically possible. Shares of Facebook fell 5.5% in afternoon trading on Monday, inching towards its worst day in nearly a year.
Downdetector showed there were more than 50,000 incidents of people reporting issues with Facebook and Instagram. The social-media giant’s instant messaging platform WhatsApp was also down for over 35,000 users. Messenger was down for nearly 9,800 users. Facebook has experienced similar widespread outages with its suite of apps this year in March and July. Several users using their Facebook credentials to log in to third-party apps such as Pokemon Go and Match Masters were also facing issues.
