Last week a domestic terrorist bought a phony bomb from an FBI agent to use to destroy three AWS data centers. Is your data safe?
That’s what you get when you don’t order through Prime, I guess.
Seth Aaron Pendley, a Capitol Riot attendee, was charged with malicious intent to destroy a Virginia building after buying dud explosives from an undercover agent. After being shown how to arm and detonate the C-Faux explosives, the agent must’ve thought the joke went on long enough and finally busted him. He’s looking at 20 years in prison.
This Little Rascal of terrorists believed that he could frustrate the small group of elites in power and interrupt communications to the FBI and CIA. I don’t know about the elites, but I do know that if he had succeeded and I couldn’t watch ‘Invincible’ on Prime Video, I’d be pissed off for sure.
AWS is used globally by over 1,000,000 companies like Netflix, LinkedIn, Turner Broadcasting, and most importantly YOURS, so data centers going down would be bad for business.
The good news is that Amazon designed the data centers to make that extremely difficult and highly improbable. The bad news is that we have Dollar Store James Bond’s with Wi-Fi like this ding dong trying to blow stuff up.
Since conspiracy theories are the cool thing right now, you can never be too prepared…
- No matter what your product is, pack it in lead plating. But make it pretty! Explosions be damned, those products will survive.
- Consider selling on Shopify before their data centers get the ol’ AWS treatment. Start building a lemonade stand now to get ahead of the curve!
- Create your own Treasure Truck and sell your product cross-country. Make money AND live off the grid!
Jokes aside, the chances of a disruption in FBA are slim if at all. With their own contingencies in place, AWS is in good hands.
