Mark Zuckerberg apologizes for global outage of Facebook and other apps

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger are now working after having almost six-hour global outage which started around 12 midnight (Philippine time).

According to a report from Reuters, security experts said the disruption could be the result of an internal mistake, though sabotage by an insider would be theoretically possible.

Several Facebook employees, who declined to be named, believed that the outage was caused by an internal routing mistake to an internet domain that was compounded by the failures of internal communication tools and other resources that depend on that same domain in order to work.

Meanwhile in a Facebook post, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for hours of global outage of the said application and all its products.

He wrote, "Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are coming back online now. Sorry for the disruption today -- I know how much you rely on our services to stay connected with the people you care about."

A lot of social media users took to Twitter where #FacebookDown became a worldwide trend.
