Not saying this is anything, but maybe someone else on here will see this and have a lightbulb moment...
All 3 DNS records for Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram were updated on Sep 22.
https://whois.domaintools.com/facebook.com
https://whois.domaintools.com/whatsapp.com
https://whois.domaintools.com/instagram.com
I also noticed the same date on the other domains:
https://whois.domaintools.com/whatsapp.net
https://whois.domaintools.com/facebook.net
I am sure there are others. This could be just a simple Zuckerberg and Co. had something they changed/updated on that date for the entire FB empire, but I find a massive outage a few days (12) later to be really strange.
I do not have a whois premium account so I am unable to dig much further than this. Anything interesting happen on Sep 22?
Yeah, if you check the site they have a premium ($100/yr) option that offers more details. I have worked in IT for many moons. I am really tempted to buy the premium to see what happened on Sep 22....
Might be able to find out about the others to. It's not just the FB entities.. it's Google too.. And more. Even Telegram is down Downdetector.com
What do you mean? Google's still up.
Some Google companies showed up on the down detector this morning. Even Youtube for a bit.
