I can't fathom how they didn't plan for this. In any business of size, you have to change configuration remotely on a regular basis, and can easily lock yourself out on a regular basis. Every single system has a local user with a random password that we can hand out for just this kind of circumstance...

phones? how lame.

I like how FB decided to send "ramenporn" as their spokesperson.

I'm worried about that person. I doubt Facebook will look kindly on breaking incident news being shared on reddit.

Apparently Facebook HQ didn't like how ramenporn handled the situation. His account has been deleted, as well as all his messages about the incident.

What I think is interesting is the effects of this type of thing across peripheral news sites, like HN. I wonder how much spike HN gets with people rushing here to find out what's going on and to read the (articulate) related discussions.
