Apart from the death penalty this is the next best thing

I know barristers have to defend their clients but his barrister said that in mitigation there are worse crimes.

Bar genocide, I’m struggling to think of many worse crimes then abducting someone, raping them & then murdering them

I suppose then that Hitler wasn't as bad as they said it's not like he killed all the Jews himself

Okay, so we don't don't know what caused the outage. But what about the elephant that wandered into the room while we were examining the flea?

1.5billion accounts? Can that be right? That would surely represent the greatest data breach in history. Wouldn't be the first time, or even the 5th or 50th. But at this scale? And does that mean they have the entire user base consolidated rather than segmented and gated behind distinct layers of security? Do they even apply any security, given their woeful track record?

And the elephant's wife. How the hell can a trillion dollar company have zero resiliency in the infrastructure? That's impossible in a professional organisation and incompetence at the most fundamental level even for a ramshackle shitshow like FedBook.

Internet sleuths quickly figured out it was an issue with Facebook’s DNS server, the infrastructure responsible for routing every user to Facebook’s location.


Journalist Brian Krebs confirmed that “the DNS records that tell systems how to find Facebook.com or Instagram.com got withdrawn this morning from the global routing tables,” in a tweet. “Can you imagine working at FB right now, when your email no longer works & all your internal FB-based tools fail?”


We still have no idea what caused the chaos. Krebs suggested in a follow-up tweet that it could have “been the result of an internal, system wide change or update that went awry,” but admitted that “it’s all speculation at this point.”


“For those asking — more often than not with this kind of thing, it’s not a cyberattack(tm), it’s somebody made a boo-boo,” Beaumont explained in a follow-up.

If any of this is true it means there are staff at FedBook with permissions for global DNS entries that are so unprofessional it beggars all credibility. Even a novice tech knows you don't run a blanket update against DNS. You run against test infrastructure, verify, then check, double check and triple check the production update and run it past several eyes before applying it. These pimply little fucks know how to be woke but they can't update a DNS server without bringing the Internet down?

Doesn't sound right to me. And if it is right then expect things to get progressively (no pun intended) worse as more idiots posing as network specialists emerge from their gender studies course to play at being engineers.
