Just a coincidence? This comes a single day after a FB whistleblower revealed themselves. The DNS records appear to be for sale as per a probable fake GoDaddy post. Makes a person wonder WHO is the culprit.

All working again, my location in the US.
Wow!! Not good for a company indeed. More interesting still will be the peanut-butter-jelly time excuse FB says was the cause. Taking down DNS is some really serious stuff. Nation state sponsored maybe.

Facebook employees can’t enter the headquarters because their badges don’t work, and those already inside can’t enter various rooms because access is linked through the IoT (Internet of Things) and so goes through the same DNS routes that no longer exist: #FacebookDown
