What we still don't know is WHY this happened. As others have pointed out, it seems really odd that all these routes would go down at once.
That is part of the reason, people like me support them with our wallets.
@voltronic good technical writers are a blessing in situations like these
@voltronic Superb. I actually understood it. Plain language is a dying art, but they have the knack.
@voltronic the cloudflare write-ups are always one of my favorite parts of a large online incident.
@voltronic Seems that FB had a major FU in their DNS. Major FU by internal engineer or external cyber hit.
@voltronic Excellent read and very easy to understand. 👍
@voltronic great explanation, but still not gonna try and explain it to my mom.
^ I love how Cloudflare always explains these things in ways that are straight to the point yet easy to understand.
