Exactly. Wiping out petabytes of storage would almost certainly be an inside job and would take a lot of time by someone with high level admin authority. Data loss if it occurred would be detected
and stopped. Mirrored servers are off line - only storage is mirrored, and that storage is likely to be backed up as well. At worst there may be 24 hours of some data that would be lost.
Its an infrastructure issue, a nasty one, but fixable.
