The fall of WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook makes the CEO of the company lose a millionaire.
WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook have suffered one of the biggest drops in their history due to an internal Facebook error. Despite the fact that social networks are already available and work with apparent normality, for more than 6 hours they have been completely inactive and users couldn’t access them.
We will see how much it affects WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook in the medium term, but in the short term it already has its consequences. The Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has lost more than $ 6 billion in a matter of hours due to the problems that affected its 3 main applications.
According informs Bloomberg, the Facebook shares are down almost 5% on Monday, and 15% compared to mid-September. Unsurprisingly, these numbers also hit Zuckerberg’s value, which has fallen to fifth place on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the ranking of the 500 richest people in the world. Fourth is now occupied by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
A mistake that costs a lot of money
Users could not access WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook for 6 hours, and that could have cost Facebook a lot of money at the company level, but on the stock market it is something that has also been noticed, and it is likely that throughout today it will drop more.
The exact reasons that caused the crash remain unclear, it appears that Facebook was affected by a DNS problem that “erased” routes to Facebook domains. Even the company’s internal network was affected, making the outage even longer and more complicated by not being able to access the company’s servers with your credentials.
