Facebook and its apps including Messenger, Instagran and WhatsApp, suffered a debilitating global outage last week that lasted close to five hours and deprived 3.5 billion people of an important communication platform.

Dr. Christopher Mansour, Cybersecurity expert at Mercyhurst University, joined JET 24 Action News to discuss this in our Newsmaker segment.
