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.
