The article explains the growing practice of "data embassies," where countries host critical citizen data in foreign data centers while maintaining jurisdictional control, citing examples (Estonia–Luxembourg, Monaco, Bahrain) and potential negotiations (India). It reviews legal complexity, geopolitical risks, requirements for security controls (encryption, SASE), the idea of multi-jurisdictional embassy networks for resilience, and even speculative options like lunar storage, but does not describe any active cyberattack or compromise.
