AWS Crash! Like a fat kid on a see-saw! Hacked!?

[kmiklas]

Wowee wow wow... a set of AWS services went down today. Quite alarming, especially as companies move more to cloud-based infrastructure.

They're not talking about why. Did they get hacked? Was there a breach? What happened?

With all their talk of availability zones, regions, security, etc... the whole thing went down like a fat kid on a see-saw.

Diversify your cloud investment, my peeps!

If they don't talk then it's an indicator for ransomware attack.
