WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram Outage Caused by Problem in Company’s Domain Name System
The outages of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram on Monday were most likely due to problems with the company’s domain name system, which is an inconspicuous but vital component of the Internet.
Usually called DNS, it is like the phone book of the Internet. It is a tool that converts a web domain (such as Facebook) into the actual Internet protocol or IP address where the site is located. Think of Facebook as the person people might look for in the white pages, and think of the IP address as the physical address they will find. On Monday, a technical issue related to Facebook’s DNS records caused at least a six-hour outage.
When a DNS error occurs, the user’s web browser or smartphone application can navigate to the Facebook service longer. Not only did Facebook’s main platform malfunction, but some of its internal applications also malfunctioned, including the company’s own email system.
Users on Twitter and Reddit also stated that employees of the company’s campus in Menlo Park, California cannot enter offices and conference rooms that require security badges. This can happen if the system granting access is also connected to the same domain-Facebook. Facebook’s problem seems to stem from Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). If DNS is the phone book of the Internet, then BGP is its postal service. When users enter data on the Internet, BGP determines the best available path through which the data can be transmitted.
According to John Graham-Cumming, Cloudflare’s chief technology officer, in a tweet, a few minutes before the Facebook platform stopped loading, public records showed that Facebook’s BGP routing has undergone a lot of changes. Facebook has not yet commented on whether or why these changes were made.

SpiceJet is further expanding its domestic network with the launch of eight new flights starting November 15.
In the statement released on Wednesday, the airline announced that these new routes will connect Jaipur with Varanasi, Amritsar and Ahmedabad, while also linking Ahmedabad with Pune. This expansion follows the recent launch of 32 new flights in October 2024, including two international flights connecting Delhi with Phuket.
Last month, SpiceJet also commenced UDAN flights linking Shivamogga in Karnataka with Chennai and Hyderabad, and introduced double daily flights between Chennai and Kochi, enhancing connectivity across key regional and metropolitan cities.
“We are excited to announce the launch of new flights from Jaipur to Varanasi, Amritsar, and Ahmedabad, as well as from Ahmedabad to Pune, providing our passengers with greater flexibility and convenience,” SpiceJet Chief Business Officer Debojo Maharshi said.
“These new flights reflect our commitment to supporting passenger demand across tier-II cities and beyond. With our expanded winter schedule, including international and UDAN routes, we aim to provide our customers with greater convenience, affordability, and seamless travel experiences,” Maharshi added.
SpiceJet will deploy its 78-seater Q400 aircraft in these sectors. Bookings for the new flights are now open and tickets are available at the website of the airline, SpiceJet’s mobile app and through online travel portals and travel agents.
On Monday, the airline received a significant boost, with Acuite Ratings & Research Limited upgrading its long-term rating by four notches to ‘B ‘ and its short-term rating to A4. The rating agency has also assigned a ‘Stable’ outlook to the airline.
