So the breaking news this morning that many, many Americans are waking up to massive Internet outage

所以今天早上這個重磅消息是，許多美國人醒來發現大範圍的網路中斷，

impacting major websites, major apps, gaming platforms including Amazon, AT&T.

影響了主要網站、主要應用程式、遊戲平臺，包括 Amazon、AT&T。

祈使句型

Delta Airlines, Disney Plus, Facebook, Hulu, Snapchat, United Airlines, Venmo.

達美航空、Disney Plus、Facebook、Hulu、Snapchat、聯合航空、Venmo。

More than even you're talking than I'm even mentioning there.

還有更多，比我提到的還要多。

At the center of this is Amazon Web Services, that major provider of cloud services for all sorts of companies.

這一切的核心是 亞馬遜雲端運算服務（AWS)，這家為各種公司提供雲端服務的主要供應商。

AWB says now it has identified the root cause and also saying this:

AWS 表示，他們已經找出根本原因，並且也說：

"We continue to observe recovery across most of the affected services.

「我們持續觀察到大多數受影響的服務正在恢復。

We continue to work towards full resolution and we'll provide updates as we have more information to share."

我們將持續努力達成完全解決，並在有更多資訊時提供更新。」

Said another, we're not saying a lot right now.

換句話說，我們現在還沒說太多。

I started noticing this this morning on multiple levels as it was unfolding.

我今天早上開始注意到這件事，在多個層面上，當它正在發展的時候。

So they connect the business to us, the consumer, through apps on your phone.

所以他們透過你手機上的應用程式，將企業和我們消費者連結起來。

So if you're waking up, you're tapping on an app, you're like, how come it's not working?

所以如果你醒來，你點開一個應用程式，你會想說，怎麼它不能用？

They're actually saying please submit to issue.

Keep doing that even though we're not answering them right now or we are trying to get to them.

即使我們現在沒有回覆他們，或者我們正在努力處理，請繼續這樣做。

There's basically a huge backlog, as you just said.

就像你剛才說的，基本上積壓了很多。

There's been some significant progress in this, this happened way overnight.

這方面已經有一些重大進展，這是在一夜之間發生的。

So there has been some, you know, significant progress,

所以已經有一些，你知道，重大的進展，

but still, there's a huge backlog of all these apps and all these companies that are looking to basically get restored.

但是仍然有大量應用程式和所有這些公司都在尋求恢復。

所以甚至在機場也出現了問題。

I'm hearing about people who are trying to check into their flights and they can't because they can't do it through the phone.

我聽說有人試圖辦理登機手續，但他們無法透過手機辦理。

So there's so many different companies, as you just listed a whole bunch of them.

所以有很多不同的公司，就像你剛才列出的一大堆。

Amazon, AT&T, Delta Gaming services like Roblox, you know, even cryptocurrency companies are being infected.

亞馬遜、AT&T、達美航空、遊戲平臺，像是 Roblox，你知道，甚至加密貨幣公司也受到了影響。

Coinbase essentially saying, don't worry, your money is safe.

Coinbase 基本上說，別擔心，你的錢是安全的。

So there are companies now having to also just kind of respond to consumers at this point.

所以現在有些公司也得針對消費者做出回應。

But like you just said, what Amazon Web Services is saying is that they are seeing significant signs of recovery

但就像你剛才說的，亞馬遜雲端運算服務表示他們正看到顯著的恢復跡象，

and they're continuing to work towards that full resolution

並且會持續朝向完全解決努力，

and they're going to continue to provide information as we have been seeing overnight continuous updates.

他們也會像我們看到的那樣，持續提供即時更新的資訊。

But like I said, they are still a huge backlog here.

但就像我說的，這裡還有一個巨大的積壓問題。

So if you wake up and you can't figure out why something is not working,

所以如果你醒來發現某樣東西無法運作。

this is likely the culprit and we're going to continue.

這很可能是罪魁禍首，我們會繼續。

I mean I started noticing it on various apps around like 3:30ish this morning.

我大概是今天早上三點半左右開始注意到各種應用程式出現問題。

Yes, this is what time we wake up around here.

對，這就是我們這裡通常的起床時間。

But it's really, it really did start cascading.

但它真的，它真的開始層層蔓延了。

Like I even tried to get on the Wall Street Journal website, couldn't get on there for a period of time.

像是連華爾街日報的網站我都試著要連上去，有一段時間都連不上。

So I mean AWS makes up 30% of this global market mean really huge.

所以我的意思是，AWS 佔據了全球市場的 30%，這真的非常龐大。

Like I actually was doing a lot of research and I can't believe how big this is.

我真的做了很多研究，簡直不敢相信這件事有多嚴重。

And it just really points to the, how fragile this infrastructure is should something happen like this.

這真的顯示了，如果發生這種事，這個基礎設施有多麼脆弱。

I mean understandably sparking fears of like vulnerabilities, of course.

當然，這可以理解地引發了對漏洞的擔憂。

But let's see what happens throughout the morning that brings on top of this for us.

但讓我們看看接下來一整個早上會發生什麼事。

All right, with us now, Lancelot off editor at large for Tech Radar.

好的，現在跟我們在一起的是 Tech Radar 的資深編輯 Lancelot。

Kate says she noticed when she was reading the Wall Street Journal.

Kate 說她注意到這件事是在讀華爾街日報的時候。

I was on FanDuel this morning and that wasn't working.

我今天早上在 FanDuel 上，結果它沒辦法用。

But everything from the Journal to fanduel to you know, our big beautiful walls here,

不過從華爾街日報到 FanDuel，你知道的，我們這裡的這些大網站，

tech going crazy just about everywhere, including in our studios.

科技幾乎到處都在出問題，包括我們的攝影棚。

Can you explain how it is that this one thing can affect so many different things?

你能不能解釋一下，為什麼這一件事會影響到這麼多不同的東西？

Well, first of all, the most important site that's down is Starbucks.

嗯，首先，最重要的一個當機的網站是星巴克。

Number two, AWS sits in the middle of everything.

第二點，AWS 處於所有事情的中間。

You know, it is, you know, all of these companies, you know, it's like, why build the house right?

你知道，就是，你知道，所有這些公司，你知道，就像為什麼要蓋房子對吧？

And that's really how these companies work.

這些公司真的就是這樣運作的。

They all have offloaded their web services, their cloud-based services to AWS, which is great because it's more affordable.

他們都把他們的網路服務、他們的雲端服務轉移到 AWS，這很棒，因為它比較便宜。

It's also more, more scalable than they could do on their own.

而且它也比他們自己能做的更具擴展性。

So that sounds great, except when it fails and it seems,

所以聽起來很棒，但如果出問題了，

it feels like sometimes a single point of failure because everything goes down at once.

感覺有時候會變成一個單點故障，因為所有東西都會同時掛掉。

And it's not just the services that you're accessing.

而且不只是你正在使用的服務。

Your ring, which is actually owned by Amazon, is one of the impacted services.

你的 Ring，它其實是 Amazon 旗下的，就是其中一個受影響的服務。

So your smart thermostat, your smart video doorbell, they just don't work without the Internet.

所以你的智慧恆溫器、你的智慧視訊門鈴，沒有網路就無法運作。

We've designed everything to work with this constant connectivity and when you pull that big plug,

我們把所有東西都設計成需要持續連線才能運作，當你拔掉那個大插頭，

基本上所有東西都會變得很笨。

When something does go wrong, you know, in terms that non tech people can understand, what is it?

當真的有什麼地方出錯時，你知道，用一般人能懂的話來說，那是什麼原因？

I mean, I don't think it's someone pulling a plug at a data center.

我的意思是，我不認為會是有人在資料中心拔插頭。

What is the glitch that causes all of this?

It's like, okay, hi, you're trying to reach me?

就像，好的，嗨，你想找我嗎？

And there's in between, there's something says, here's who I am.

And they do a handshake and everything's okay.

然後他們會進行握手，一切就緒。

Well, that's the part of the service that basically broke,

嗯，這就是服務中基本上出錯的部分，

where they couldn't identify each other, that one interconnection couldn't work.

他們無法互相識別，那個互聯就無法正常工作。

And this happened apparently in an East Coast area, an East Coast service center.

這顯然發生在東岸的一個區域，一個東岸的服務中心。

But that one failure has had a global impact.

但那一次的故障造成了全球性的影響。

I've been talking to people in the UK all morning,

我一整個早上都在跟英國的人講話，

and they've been dealing with this because they're up earlier, longer than us.

他們因為比我們早起、比我們晚睡，所以一直在處理這個問題。

My son in Taiwan can't get on Snapchat this morning.

我在臺灣的兒子今天早上 Snapchat 上不去。

I mean, this truly is a global phenomenon.

我說，這真的是一個全球性的現象。

So what vulnerabilities, then, does this reveal?

那麼，這揭示了什麼樣的漏洞呢？

我們不知道是什麼導致了這個。

We have no reason to believe it was a bad actor.

我們沒有理由相信是惡意行為者所為。

But how attractive is this to a bad actor when they see this?

但是，當惡意行為者看到這樣的情況時，這對他們來說有多大的吸引力呢？

I continue to be confused about why there is not instant redundancy when you can have something that's seemingly so small or so localized,

我還是搞不清楚，明明可以有看起來很小或很局部的事情，卻能造成如此連鎖且全球性的影響，
