Foiled AWS Data Center Bombing
According to the latest reports, law enforcement officials have foiled a plot to bomb an Amazon AWS data center in Ohio. The bombing was allegedly planned by a group of self-proclaimed “anarchists” who were angry about the company’s contract with the US military. This is not the first time that Amazon’s data centers have been targeted by enemies of the state. In 2015, hackers associated with the “Anonymous” group took down the company’s website for several hours in protest of its role in the Iraq War.
It is not clear how much damage the would-be bombers intended to cause, but it is safe to say that the security of Amazon’s data centers is now under greater scrutiny than ever before. This incident is yet another reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in the age of digital warfare.

The bombers allegedly targeted the Amazon AWS data center in Ohio because of the company’s contract with the US military.

On July 26, 2017, an unknown assailant attempted to bomb an Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center in Frankfurt, Germany.
The bomb was discovered before it could cause any damage, but the incident has raised concerns about the security of AWS’s infrastructure. AWS is one of the largest providers of cloud computing services in the world, and its data centers are a tempting target for hackers and terrorists. The Frankfurt bombing is just the latest in a series of attacks on Amazon’s infrastructure. In 2015, hackers associated with the “Anonymous” group took down the company’s website for several hours in protest of its role in the Iraq War.
AWS has not commented on the Frankfurt bombing, but it is clear that the company is taking the threat posed by cyber-attacks seriously. This incident is yet another reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in the age of digital warfare.
The would-be bomber was unsuccessful, and no one was injured
However, it is a clear indication of the lengths to which some people will go to attack Amazon and its data centers. This is not the first time that Amazon’s data centers have been targeted by enemies of the state, and it is likely not the last. Cybersecurity is more important than ever in the age of digital warfare, and Amazon must do everything it can to protect its infrastructure from attack.
This attempt comes after a spate of attacks on AWS data centers in the United States
In 2015, hackers associated with the “Anonymous” group took down the company’s website for several hours in protest of its role in the Iraq War. In 2016, a DDoS attack brought down Amazon’s website for several hours on Prime Day, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. It is not clear how much damage the would-be bombers intended to cause, but it is safe to say that the security of Amazon’s data centers is now under greater scrutiny than ever before. This incident is yet another reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in the age of digital warfare.
