i was just reading up on the Sea-Me-We-4 and FLAG FEA submarine cable outages. These are two big fiber-optic internet pipes that carry large volumes of IP traffic between countries, connecting different regions of the world. In this case, the cables connected most of southern Asia with Europe, and from there, the rest of the world.
Unbelievable!
But there’s more!
There is a story on CNN about a third cable, performing the same service, that has been cut.
Coincidence? Two out of three is a coincidence. This looks coordinated.
