finally found out what happened to whatsapp, instagram and facebook. Apparently it would have been an attack by Anonymous to draw attention to the safety of children on these social networks.
Every time Internet services such as social networks or chats go down, we think that they are technical failures and We rarely imagine that it could be sabotagesince the latter are generally directed against other types of sites, such as government web pages.
One of the organizations that frequently takes responsibility for this type of hacking with a social and political background is Anonymous, a group famous for executing virtual attacks against targets such as the enemies of Wikileaks, the Church of Scientology and airing private data of people they consider criminals. .
This was what happened to WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook on Monday, October 4
Now, Anonymous declared through one of their Twitter accounts that they were the ones behind the massive fall of the conglomerate led by Mark Zuckerberg, and the reasons are chilling.
«Facebook and Zuckerberg have done nothing, absolutely nothing to eliminate, block or restrict the groups in which child pornography is shared, kilometers of depraved take advantage of the fact that Facebook does nothing to follow, SHIT they are children.»
The @YourAnonNewsESP account tweeted last Monday afternoon.
Until the moment of the publication of this note, neither Facebook nor Mark have ruled on the alleged attack; Zuckerberg limited himself to announcing the return of his networks to normal.
“Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are coming back online now. Sorry for the interruption today. I know how much you trust our services to keep you connected with the people you care about.”
The founder of Facebook wrote in his account in said social network.
And the official version of the social media conglomerate is very different:
“Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes in the backbone routers, which coordinate network traffic between our data centers, caused issues that disrupted this communication. This disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt.”
Santosh Janardhan, Vice President of Infrastructure at Facebook explained in his blog.
