Datacenter Vulnerability

[RatherFunky]

Datacenter is cleary a single point of failure. It easy to not notice someone pop in into the datactre if noone knows who they are, or is it really the case? Like for example some contract worker, let's say a 'cleaner' who was not vetted. Enters the datacenter with a laptop in a washing bucket. And you can imagine what kind of damage can be done. Now this a clear vulnerability of a datacenter, So let's take into account that it is the single oint of failure. And Probably there will be another social engineering hacks in the future does to the fact that datacenters are that vulnerable. To t avoid this level of vulnerability which further consider embracing the distributed systems design of the internet.

Yes this is true. Also there is nothing to stop someone from simply buying a data center, or several, out right.

I don't mean to be sarcastic here, but why spend $40 billion developing some new weapon tech that might or might not work, when instead you can set up a proxy Private Equity firm and buy out all a country's data centers?

Also by the way inside of a data center there is tons of segregation between server racks, dual power sources coming from opposite sides of building, etc. Even if you were given a decent time window a single person could only do limited damage.
