"Unraveling the Global Meta Outage: Causes and Consequences"

A global outage affected Meta's entire network, including Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads, and Quest headsets, lasting between one and two hours. While the exact cause remains undisclosed, it's unlikely to be a broader problem or a cyber attack. The most probable explanation is an internal error similar to one in 2021, when a routine maintenance job caused a complete disconnection of server connections. Damage to submarine cables in the Red Sea may have also contributed to the issue.
