The fact they didn't immediately fail over doesn't mean they didn't had a plan.

The plan might've just been "if it gets bombed, we restore backups into other zone". Just waiting for it to fix itself for few hours mightv'e been acceptable risk.

1) the ability to view everyone's bank data, in secret

2) the ability to change EU bank data at will, in secret

(see US Cloud act)

There are much worse things you can do to data than bomb it.
