Episode 146: Facebook Offline

CYBER24

This was a week Facebook won't soon forget and for all the wrong reasons.
First, a whistleblower made allegations on 60 Minutes Sunday and before Congress later in the week that the social media giant incentivizes angry posts that cause division. And Monday Facebook, along with Instagram and Whatsapp were down for nearly six hours.
But Facebook says the problem wasn't the result of an outside bad actor breaking through its security, but rather a self-inflicted wound. In this episode of CYBER24, presented by VLCM, we look into the issue and the fallout with Mike Hussey, the former CIO for the state of Utah.
