Switzerland: SWIFT's Switzerland data center and Russia

According to reports, a data center being used by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), of which 11,000 banks from over 200 countries are linked to, is being guarded by police. This news that the local Thurgau cantonal police have set up a perimeter around the facility comes in response to the Russian-Ukraine conflict, to prevent Russian sabotage or protests.

The facility already has five of its seven floors submerged beneath the ground, surrounded by a barbed fence and guarded by security. Additionally, SWIFT outlined that if its Switzerland facility was compromised, it also operates two others, one in Zoeterwoude, Netherlands; another in Culpeper, Virginia, United States. 

That said, aside from physical sabotage, there is also the threat of cyberattack, especially considering that Russian forces have launched a number of attacks in recent days.
