用户:NHC/2021年Facebook瘫痪事件
2021年Facebook瘫痪事件(英语:2021 Facebook outage)发生在世界协调时间2021年10月4日15:39,社群网站Facebook及其子公司Messenger、Instagram、WhatsApp、Mapillary及Oculus在全球范围内超过7个小时无法使用。[1][2]还阻止了任何试图使用Facebook登录的人访问第三方网站。[3]在此期间,由于大量用户改而涌向Twitter、Discord及Telegram等平台,曾导致这些应用程序的服务器服务中断。[4][5][6]
On October 4, 2021 at 15:39 协调世界时, the 社会网络 Facebook and its subsidiaries, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Mapillary, and Oculus, became globally unavailable for more than seven hours.[1][2] The outage also prevented anyone trying to use "Log in with Facebook" from accessing third-party sites.[7] During the outage, many users flocked to Twitter, Discord, and 电报, resulting in disruptions on these apps' servers.[4][8][9] The outage was caused by the loss of IP转发 to the Facebook 域名系统 (DNS) servers, which were all self-hosted at the time.[10][4] 边界网关协议 (BGP) routing was restored for the affected prefixes at about 20:50, and DNS services began to be available again at 21:05 UTC, but application-layer services were slowly restored to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp more than an hour later, with service generally restored for users by 22:45.[11]
Causes
Security experts identified the problem as a 边界网关协议 (BGP) withdrawal of the 网际协议 prefixes in which Facebook's 域名系统 were hosted, making it impossible for users to resolve Facebook and related domain names, and reach services.[2][12] Effects were visible globally; for example, Swiss Internet service provider Init7 recorded a massive drop in internet traffic to the Facebook servers after the change in the Border Gateway Protocol.[13]
Cloudflare reported that at 15:39 UTC, Facebook made a significant number of BGP updates, including the withdrawal of routes to the IP prefixes, which included all of their authoritative nameservers. This made Facebook's 域名系统 servers unreachable from the Internet. By 15:50 UTC, Facebook's 域名 had expired from the caches in all major public resolvers. A little before 21:00 UTC, Facebook resumed announcing BGP updates, with Facebook's domain name becoming resolvable again at 21:05 UTC.[14]
Facebook gradually returned after a team got access to server computers at the Santa Clara, Calif., data center and after reseted them.[4] By about 22:45 UTC, Facebook and related services were generally available again.[15]
Impact
The outage cut off Facebook's internal communications, preventing employees from sending or receiving external emails, accessing the corporate directory, and authenticating to some Google文件 and Zoom services.[1][2] 纽约时报 reported that employees were unable to access buildings and conference rooms with their security badges.[1] The site Downdetector, which monitors network outages, recorded over 10 million problem reports – the largest number for an incident to date.[16][17] Steve Gibson, a security researcher, said a "Routine BGP update went wrong" locking out "people with remote access" to the servers to fix the mistake and people with physical access do not have authorization to fix the mistake.[18]
The Google Public DNS service also slowed down as a result of the outage,[19] while users of Gmail, 抖音, and Snapchat also experienced slowdowns.[20] 全国广播公司商业频道 reported that the outage was the worst experienced by Facebook since 2008.[21] During the day of the outage, shares in the company dropped by nearly 5% and Facebook CEO 马克·扎克伯格's wealth fell by more than $6 billion.[21][22][23] According to a report produced by 财富 (杂志) and Snopes, Facebook at least lost $60 million in 网络广告.[24]
Response
Facebook's Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer wrote an apology after the downtime had extended to several hours, saying, "Teams are working as fast as possible to debug and restore as fast as possible."[25]
美国众议院 亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯 tweeted about the outage, asking people to share "evidence-based" stories on Twitter, making fun of Facebook's reputation for spreading 假新闻.[26] Twitter and Reddit also posted tweets on their official Twitter accounts ridiculing the outage.[17]
Users on both Twitter and Telegram reported a slowdown in response times, believed to be caused by people normally on Facebook services switching to those services.[25]
