Yesterday evening, there was a worldwide access problem to Instagram, Facebook and Threads, which are under the umbrella of Meta. Users could not access social media platforms for approximately 2 hours. The problem was also on the agenda on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
Meta took the necessary actions and started working to resolve the access problem, and after time passed, the problem was resolved. However, some users, in addition to regaining access to their social media accounts, also began to wonder what caused the problem.
WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE WHEN THE ACCESS PROBLEM EXPERIENCED?
Journalist Kenan Taş discussed the access problem on Facebook, Instagram and Threads in a post he made on his X (Twitter) account. Taş said that he asked his sources inside about what happened for about 3 hours.
Taş’s post is as follows:
“I ASKED MY INSIDER SOURCES…”
As you know, there was a problem on Instagram yesterday. I asked my inside sources what happened for about 3 hours: “All systems were suddenly locked. None of us could work.
“WE COULD NOT EVEN COMMUNICATE”
The system kicked us out of all the tools we used. We couldn’t even communicate. In 2021, the system crashed for 8 hours, we experienced the same thing. This time it took 2 hours. While everyone was logged in, the system kicked everyone out.
HACKING?
Hacking in Kenan Taş’s post? The answer to the question was also included. The part of Taş’s post regarding this issue is as follows:
“So, is it hacking?” The answer to the question is ‘no, it’s not a system error, they caused it while trying to solve another problem. It took 3 hours before we realized what it was, a simple problem. Since all systems are common, all of them were affected except WhatsApp.’
