While there are no indications the outage is connected, Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen stepped out of the shadows on Sunday night in an interview with CBS News "60 Minutes", shedding light on the dark, murky, troubled world surrounding the Bay Area social media giant. It's been a difficult 24 hours for the social media giant. While much of Facebook's workforce is still working remotely, there were reports that employees at work on the company's Menlo Park, California, campus had trouble entering buildings because the outage had rendered their security badges useless. Matthew Prince, CEO of the internet infrastructure provider Cloudflare, tweeted that "nothing we're seeing related to the Facebook services outage suggests it was an attack." Prince said the most likely explanation was that Facebook mistakenly knocked itself off the internet during maintenance.įacebook did not respond to messages for comment about the attack or the possibility of malicious activity.
There was no evidence as of Monday afternoon that malicious activity was involved. You call or text or talk to someone face to face. "It's like, being a normal human being old school. I'm the one person on the planet who is not on social media," said another, who was far less concerned about the outage. "We quickly googled and everything is down right now." "I thought it was me, and social media is pretty much my entire job," said one local. KPIX spoke with a few Bay Area residents and asked how the outage affected them on Monday. The stock closed at $326.23, down nearly $17 per share.īloomberg reported CEO Mark Zuckerberg's net worth dropped by $7 billion. Facebook stock plunged on Wall Street Monday, falling 4.89% in value over the course of the day to end.
