Facebook's cryptic outage should be Congress' wake-up call
It’s important to note, though, that sometimes companies do not announce the full details of a cyberattack while an investigation is ongoing. Regardless of whether the Facebook shutdown was caused by mistake or malice, it is disturbing that the temporary shutdown of one single company was able to affect so much of the internet.
The Facebook outage and the Colonial Pipeline hack prove again how important cybersecurity is, for individuals, corporations, and for national and global security. The internet is a fragile ecosystem built on a worldwide network of undersea cables and distributed servers. It is easy to forget that the internet is not merely a conceptual network, but that physical infrastructure exists and that it matters.
