That is a major thing and no accident.
Yeah. Not to mention that there is never just one transit gateway in place, especially for a company like FB. They very likely had several interfaces in place with redundant fail-overs to lower capacity hardware.
An event like this, where ALL of their connections are down simultaneously isn't just a major event; it's a HUGE event. This kind of thing should NEVER happen.
I started out in '95 for tier 1 isp's, and I agree, this is huge.
I'm in the industry. I work with cloud architecture specifically and work with these transit links all the time. Never seen an outage anything like this FB one.
Is this White Hat, Black Hat, neither or nobody knows? Signed not a computer guy...,...........
I'm trying to work it out. Everyone has been predicting it, they're all capable of it.
However, it is such a serious attack, and if it takes the whole net down, my money is on the white hats.
Time will tell.
