Let alone truck bombings or ied kamikaze drones. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5809373&forum_id=2Ã#49503509) |
Date: December 11th, 2025 10:24 PM Author: average/ordinary/typical citizen/person A coordinated, destructive attack on multiple CyrusOne data centers in the U.S. and Europe by a hostile foreign power would cause a catastrophic, prolonged economic crisis, far exceeding a temporary outage. The total destruction would eliminate the ability for a quick repair, leading to potential permanent data loss, extensive business failures, and systemic financial market breakdown. Economic Impact of a Coordinated Destruction The impact would be a systemic shock to the digital economy: Financial System Collapse: With the primary infrastructure for critical financial exchanges like the CME Group potentially destroyed, an estimated $25 quadrillion in daily derivatives trading could halt indefinitely. The inability to clear, settle, and trade would trigger a global liquidity crisis and market crash, impacting everything from pension funds to basic banking operations. Irrecoverable Data Loss and Business Failure: For many of the 800 clients, including Fortune 1000 companies, physical destruction might mean permanent loss of primary data and operational systems if backup and disaster recovery plans were inadequate or also compromised. This would lead to widespread operational halts, immense financial losses, reputational damage, and potentially business failures. Crippling of Critical Infrastructure: Beyond finance, the attack could disable core operations in energy grids, supply chains, healthcare systems, and transportation networks that rely on the affected data centers. The cascading effects could bring national infrastructure to a standstill for an extended period, as seen in simulations of large-scale cyberattacks.
