Facebook suffered a global outage

Facebook has suffered a global outage Thursday, September 23 in the early evening (French time). For nearly 2 h 30 min, most members could not access the site displayed an error page instead of their profile.

The lucky ones are still able to connect, but temporarily, and navigation was extremely slow.

The operation buttons "I", which allow users to indicate that they have enjoyed a content on another site, was also affected, as shown by the catch taken on the site 01net.

From Facebook's own admission, he is the worst crash he has undergone since its inception four years ago.

The social network has explained the causes of the incident on his blog, to avoid suspicion of hacking. These are modifications of automatic verification of data stored in the cache that are the cause of the outage.

Errors in the setup led to a flood of applications on servers, forcing Facebook to stop traffic before resetting gradually in the evening.
