Facebook blames ‘faulty configuration change’ for nearly six-hour outage
Facebook Inc attributed the nearly six-hour outage on Monday to a "faulty configuration change," which prevented its 3.5 billion users from accessing its social media and messaging services such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. The company did not disclose who made the change or if it was intentional. According to several Facebook employees who spoke to Reuters anonymously, the outage was likely caused by an internal error in the routing of internet traffic to its systems.0
