ejolson Back on topic, concentrating essential services for thousands of companies into hyperscale datacenters makes those datacenters into high-value targets, not just for kinetic weapons like drones and missiles but complicated digital supply chain, social engineering and cloud infrastructure hacking. In order to increase efficiency and convenience, many things we enjoy today are subject to multiple single-points-of-failure. In other words, even with the engineered redundancy and resilience, the current network of hyperscale datacenters concentrate so much into one point of failure, that focused attacks become a profitable undertaking for adversaries.

I mean you do sign your rights away for data to be purchased or “shared” by third parties. Handy way around protections about law enforcement getting them for investigations Reply
