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?
Some Google companies showed up on the down detector this morning. Even Youtube for a bit.
Google and Facebook show up on Down Detector every day, but the outages aren't global like Facebook's issue yesterday.
Yeah, hard to figure what was going on with all KINDS of services dropping. I never have issues with Twitter or YT, for example. Sure did yesterday. And the BofA thing was crazy.
