Amazon’s AWS powers some of the world’s leading crypto exchanges with high-throughput cloud infrastructure for crypto trading, presenting a central point of vulnerability.
Binance, KuCoin, MEXC and other exchanges and wallet providers have been experiencing service issues due to a significant network interruption by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges (CEXs) were hit by an AWS data center outage, which reported “connectivity issues” that affected at least 12 of its services on April 15.
