Undersea cables carrying the internet face growing risks
Original: The Internet’s undersea backbone is slipping into the danger zone
New reporting warns that the undersea fiber-optic cables carrying nearly all global internet traffic are increasingly exposed to danger. Analysts point to aging infrastructure, anchoring and sabotage risks, and heavy reliance on a small number of cable routes. Observers say damage to key lines could disrupt connectivity for entire regions, prompting calls for more redundancy and protection of the submarine cable network.
Why now: Concerns over cable damage, sabotage and growing dependence on vulnerable undersea infrastructure are drawing attention to the fragility of global internet connectivity.
