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.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
