There is a bug in the protection system. Russian developer explained “global crash”
A developer who moved from Russia to the United States spoke about what actually was behind the global collapse of Facebook.
After the October collapse of Facebook, kids got a new name – Meta. However, even the name change did not greatly improve the reputation of the social network. Despite the fact that the corporation claims to build the metaverse, what this future will be is not clear even to the developers.
And users understand one thing: the social network has clearly shown its vulnerability. This became apparent after the October shutdown of Facebook and former social networks.
A developer around Russia, Alexander Nazarov, who works for a corporation, said that it is not worth building a conspiracy theories of the failure. Everything is much simpler: initially an error was sewn into the security system.
“There is a human factor. Planned work was underway, during which the connection between all data centers was blocked,” he explained in interview “To the newspaper. Ru “.
An error occurred in the protection system against such locks, and it was not possible to prevent the failure.
To fix the problem, we had to break into data centers, which also proved to be time consuming compliance.
“It took the engineers most of the time not to fix it to get to this center. That is, a huge part of the time was used by engineers in order to go through those protection systems that they themselves built, “- said the developer.
