The topic is an opener to discuss MitID, electronic ID's in general, the protocols behind them, what happens when they fail, privacy, societies reliance on them or something similar.
Yep let's not learn from that incident and wait until is offline for like 2 weeks, and be assured that will happen.
Really FAANG can stop a solar-storm? A war on infrastructure?
Remember that your website not just needs running computers but energy too, and a net that brings that information to the peoples, and those peoples devices need power too.
Just look at the Berlin outage where people had to go to hotpots with generators to load the phone:

And that was a small attack on infra but 100'000 where affected.
But sorry if i touched any of your sensitive areas...because it's Europe and not FAANG ;)
> stop a solar-storm
never heard of those taking out a data center, but i'm not highly educated on that one.
> A war on infrastructure
government datacenter will be first in line for fuel, generators, etc. A destroyed gov. datacenter would be the start of much more serious things to worry about.
> Just look at the Berlin outage where people had to go to hotpots
yeah, this one _is_ a little embarassing, but people who have to go to hotspots != datacenters
The original statement stands.
A running data-center without a net or consumers is nothing worth.
>The original statement stands.
Well true, the Website runs but no one can access it.
