STATUS UPDATE 5:00 EST! DOWN still for DNS and its a big deal!
Facebook DATA will be fine, a little birdie told me, its the DNS still down from a three component exploit attack that should have lasted merely 10 minutes.
There's still no connectivity to Facebook's DNS servers:

So they're hours into this outage and still haven't re-established connectivity to their own DNS servers.
"facebook.com" is registered with "registrarsafe.com" as registrar. "registrarsafe.com" is unreachable because it's using Facebook's DNS servers and is probably a unit of Facebook. "registrarsafe.com" itself is registered with "registrarsafe.com".
Almost 5 hours with no working "a.ns.facebook.com" !!!
Bwah hah hah hah!!!
Circular interdependencies caused by MINORITY HIRE TOKEN SHEBOONS in IT at FACEBOOK!?
Thanks, La'Quisha! (No its not specifically a person named "La'Quisha" that allowed the circular authentication defect and bad TTL cache reset times)
BGP attack was one third the attack... by the end of this week, some more revelations may unfold.
