Seems they use their own domain for everything, I think we do likewise actually at my place, even with our SaaS stuff's DR environments (oops). But I am not too sure if there were no impediment to getting into the datacenters if that'd have improved the damage. Seems BGP issues are a problem. Makes me wish I'd gone into networking, heh.
Using IoT for card readers doesn't seem that outlandish, FB has an immense number of employees - I guess they also have differing levels of access for staff too. Does seem strange to not have a fallback if the system is just dead (then again, not as if reporters would highlight that anyway).
It will be cool to read an AAR of all this though.

Some FB network engineers having a very bad day.
Act 3 sucked even more than Act 2 did in D2R, huge zones, annoying enemies. Did laugh that I just walked in and ambushed myself with Mephisto. Real exciting fight, standing in front of him Charge Striking his ass until he died. And all he dropped was barbarian gear too, bleh. Should have gone bowazon.

Disappointed the German isn't something like "an a almost enclosed in a circle"
Almost done, that Arcane Sanctuary was a pain in the ass, especially with my rogue merc getting lost every so often. One shotting the Summoner was funny, didn't even realize I killed him.
Bored as well in D2R, must just be that Act 2 sucks, heh. Didn't play that much of it back in the day, so am really approaching it fresh. Remaster is pretty well done though, game looks good, sound good.
