I’ve stumbled across a small security vulnerability in Facebook that, after some thought, turned out to be a way to launch a powerful and surprising attack.

dig seems to be OK
I’m still waiting for the news of why this thing happened..
[update]
DAMMIT!! I used “dig facebook.com” and not “dig www.facebook.com”.. ARGH!!!! Anyone has dig result for www.facebook.com? I pretty much believe that it has something to do with Akmai’s distributed servers
[update]
hi all, i believe that, this issues come some the distributed akmai server. If you are on Linux/Unix/Mac, this is what you can do:-
sudo -i
echo "69.63.191.219 www.facebook.com" >> /etc/hosts |
sudo -i
echo "69.63.191.219 www.facebook.com" >> /etc/hosts
then start browsing to facebook 🙂
