Reports indicate that during recent conflicts, a drone attack attributed to Iran on Amazon’s data centers caused approximately 150 million dollars in damage. No further official details have been released regarding the exact location of the attack or the final amount of damage.
Data centers are considered one of the most important infrastructures of the digital age, playing a crucial role in the storage, processing, and transfer of information. These centers are the backbone of operations for many companies, institutions, and public services.
Experts say that the scope of this event goes beyond the damage to a single business, as data centers are not only storage sites for information but also integral to the functioning of banking systems, supply chains, financial services, and communication networks.
Moreover, in many countries, certain security and operational plans rely on digital infrastructures and data centers. Therefore, any disruption in these centers could have widespread economic and technical consequences.
Amazon and the relevant official authorities have yet to issue a comprehensive independent response regarding the details of this report.
