Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp were all down yesterday, leaving us twiddling our thumbs and desperately refreshing our apps. The social media outage lasted close to six-hours, so how much money did Facebook lose?
Facebook issued a statement confirming that the cause of the outage was a configuration change.
Explaining why the social media site went down, Facebook stated: “configuration changes on the backbone routers that co-ordinate network traffic between our data centres caused issues that interrupted this communication.”
