Would be curious to hear how something like this happens.
My first guess was that the domain was part of a FB deny list but I don't see why it would. It's still up for grabs https://www.whois.com/whois/di.wang https://www.whois.com/whois/di.wang and I can't find any history on https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://di.wang/\\ https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://di.wang/\\*.
Context is that this is part of an email address and my friend can't send their email anymore.
- pryce 5y agoMy guess is that facebook engineer named 'di wang' of which at least one exists[1] was attempting to ensure the blocklist functionality worked in production. Then again, the employee I found is an engineer in the ads department, so blocklist functionality seems unlikely for him to be working on. [1] see linkedin. I have removed the link to an employees profile who may or may not be relevant and is not a public figure.
- toyg 5y agoOr maybe somebody in FB blocklist dev carried out a vendetta against such engineer…

Unless there's also a blocklist for ads, and someone misconfigured the messenger list to pull that one in also. I've seen similar errors in other companies.
