癱瘓期間的Facebook主頁面

2021年Facebook癱瘓事件(英語:2021 Facebook outage)發生在世界協調時間2021年10月4日15:39,社群網站Facebook及其子公司MessengerInstagramWhatsAppMapillaryOculus英语Oculus (brand)在全球範圍內超過7個小時無法使用。[1][2]還阻止了任何試圖使用Facebook登錄英语Log in with Facebook的人訪問第三方網站。[3]在此期間,由於大量用戶改而湧向TwitterDiscordTelegram等平台,曾導致這些應用程式的伺服器服務中斷。[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英语Oculus (brand), became globally unavailable for more than seven hours.[1][2] The outage also prevented anyone trying to use "Log in with Facebook英语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 编辑

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英语Domain name resolution 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 编辑

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英语Zoom (software) 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英语Steve Gibson (computer programmer), 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 编辑

Facebook's Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer英语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 假新聞.[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]
