Jon Johnston, the fire marshal told Reuters that there is no Sarin in the campus. He even informed people about the safety measures that Facebook takes as well as about their routine checks. Facebook has initiated a standard safety protocol and checks all packages under it.

Federal Bureau of Investigation popularly known as FBI also visited the scene. Facebook confirmed the visit of FBI. However, no representative of Facebook was available to confirm the all-clear which it received on Tuesday.
Facebook owns 2.3 billion monthly active users and has 55 billion dollars of revenue stored up. However, massive popularity and fame have often brought Facebook in the limelight for wrong reasons. It is also the cause which made Facebook subjected to cyber attacks.

Not the first time for the social media giant
This is not the first time such an event has taken place in Facebook’s building. In December, the social media company faced a bomb threat on the main campus of Menlo Park. However, even at that time, the news was just a false alarm thing. For nothing really happened and no bomb was found.
