Part 3/12:
This vulnerability extends beyond Cloudflare. The speaker highlights AWS (Amazon Web Services) as another foundational element, responsible for a third of internet traffic. AWS forms the plumbing behind much of what we use daily. A single glitch—whether a software bug or a hacking attack—can cause enormous chaos, as seen with recent outages affecting Netflix, hospital networks, or security systems. This centralization means that a failure or intentional disruption of these services can have widespread consequences, undermining our reliance on these fragile digital pipes.
