Summary: On October 4th, Facebook experienced a global outage. It lasted for almost six hours due to a DNS-related issue, causing a financial impact that approached $100 million according to the Verge. Beyond the actual damage was the Schadenfreude media reaction that’s common for Facebook coverage.

This report dives in, including original SMB survey data and Localogy analyst perspectives.
