Google has a private navy. It's maintained by the firm whose founder now runs the Pentagon.
This is not a thriller. This is Tuesday in America Inc.
Somewhere in Bass Strait right now, a US government cable ship is maintaining Google's Internet.

The Singapore-Batam Digital Corridor is already being built.
Front-end in Singapore (peering, low-latency apps). Back-end in Batam (AI training, storage, DR). A dedicated 24-fiber-pair submarine cable connects them at under 2ms latency.
This is what happens when one location runs out of space and the other has cost advantages too large to ignore.

In the most recent incident, a Togolese-flagged cargo ship with Chinese backing, the “Hongtai,” allegedly severed the third Taiwan-Penghu submarine cable. This has raised concerns about how to defend against these “gray zone” threats to critical infrastructure.

Yesterday, James Appathurai, #NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Innovation, Hybrid and Cyber, stated on @euronews:
“You might have seen that a Chinese ship cut the #Baltic connection cable. The Chinese have come forward to admit that.”

RIPE Labs investigated the #submarinecable cuts in the #balticsea in a blog post Does the Internet Route Around Damage? - Baltic Sea Cable CutsThey infer evidence of disruptions based on #ripeatlas measurements in which 20-30% of the paths exhibit a notably increased latency. A short, but nevertheless interesting read.
Following the latest news on the cable cut are somewhat concerning due to the hostile actions traversing from "digital only" to physical infrastructure for the digital space.

"Tens of thousands of miles of cables crisscross our deep seas, ferrying data between continents and carrying renewable power from offshore energy platforms to the land. These snaking, artificial structures can serve as shelter to a vast array of bottom-dwelling sea life: anemones, sponges, corals, sea stars, urchins, worms, bivalves, crabs and other invertebrates have been found to take up residence on or near undersea..."

CW: Submarine Cable Map
I was playing around with LetsDefend.io and came across this nifty map showing the submarine cables around the globe.
I'm not really sure how useful this could be but I found it interesting:

Our world is connected.
We see evidence of that from seeing social media updates from people around the world or news broadcasts that cover events happening from anywhere. But have you considered the physical infrastructure of the internet? Of course there are datacenters, giant buildings with loud computers buzzing away. But those buildings need to be connected to each other, to your modem at home, to mobile cell towers that are sprinkled all over the place, and "to the internet". But what does that mean? Contrary to popular belief, satellites are NOT how most information travels the world. Indeed, we have physical cables all over... but instead of carrying electrical signals those cables carry light generated by lasers.
These cables not only exist alongside roads and hung on power lines. They're also running along the bottom of the world's oceans. The image below is an inventory of each of these underwater internet cables. What I find interesting is how many there are! It seems like a lot. But then when I think more about it I am also amazed at how few there are. If you pay attention you will see news articles describing occasional sabotage of these cables, here's one recently published by Wired: https://www.wired.com/story/submarine-internet-cables-egypt/. This is actually very important to the future and security of the global internet.
