Fifth Cable Cut To Middle East

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-wait-a-minute dept.

You may have noticed a number of stories recently about undersea cables getting cut around the world. Apparently the total is now up to 5, but the scariest part of this is that Iran is now offline. You can also read Schneier's comments on this coincidence. Update: 02/06 17:42 GMT by Z : As a commenter notes, though the country of Iran is obviously experiencing some networking difficulties, it is not offline.

    You have to love a "flamebait" moderation on a perfectly rational, factual, on-topic post.

    Slashdot: where moderation is a form of humor. ;-)
