Very curious on the DNS wiping.

DNS is the real weakness of the entire internet. If a widespread BIND vulnerability ever was identified, the entire internet would pretty much blink out for awhile insofar as name-based browsing is concerned. Or many other possibilities. It's nowhere near as redundant as people would like to believe.

That would have to be a hell of a hack though to get to the keycards. If true, that is suspicious. I have a hard time believing a company like Facebook would leave their access/control server internet connected. That... almost sounds like an insider / deep network pen. Or a long undetected nation state pen to get that far...

Unless they are morons on logical/physical security, which is not entirely impossible, but seems unlikely.
I install access controls systems, a lot of them are moving to cloud based management and smart device app integration in addition to or in lieu of using actual keyfobs or card key tokens. The app integration would require an operational web connection between the access control server and the outside world/internet to work. Depending on whether or not Facebook is hosting their own access control server and if they are operating it off the same system that the platform itself is running on then I could see that outage happening.
