Is the Mandela Effect Leaving Your AWS Data Vulnerable?

Humanity’s collective memory can be a little fuzzy. Case-in-point: The Mandela Effect, or the phenomenon of large groups of people misremembering the same fact or event in a similar way. The effect is named after Nelson Mandela, who many people believe died in prison in the 1980s despite the fact that he actually went on to become President of South Africa in the 1990s.


Alguns exemplos do Efeito Mandela:

  • Embora a maioria das pessoas se lembre do personagem infantil Curious George como tendo um rabo, ele não tem nenhum.
  • Many people believe there is a brand of peanut butter called “Jiffy” but there is not. There’s Jif, and there’s Skippy, but no Jiffy.
  • In the iconic scene in “Silence of the Lambs,” Hannibal Lecter does not say “Hello Clarice” as many people remember.  He says “good morning.”

O Efeito Mandela na nuvem

The Mandela effect is not just a pop culture phenomenon, it exists in the world of enterprise technology, too. It’s a common misconception that data stored in the cloud is automatically backed up.  The truth is that cloud providers operate on a shared responsibility model, in which the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the software, hardware and infrastructure, but not customers’ data.

Shared Responsibility Model from AWS

For example, when AWS refers to their highly durable Amazon S3 service, it’s true that the platform is incredibly durable, which means you’re unlikely to experience any trouble with their systems or infrastructure.  However, this has nothing to do with protecting your data from accidental deletions, ransomware attacks or insider threats. According to the shared responsibility model, that’s your job.
