Amazons global outage exposes major vulnerabilities to American life - Oh_Well - Oct 22, 2025
It took a day without Amazon Web Services for Americans to realize how reliant the internet is on a single company.
It’s not just that people couldn’t place mobile orders for coffee at Starbucks or ask Alexa for the weather. Hospitals said crucial communications services weren’t working, and teachers couldn’t access their planned lessons for the day. Chime, a mobile banking service, was down, too, leaving people without access to their money. Ring and Blink cameras, along with most smart home devices, stopped working.
