  1. You know how much we love us some undersea cables, and this week, it's cable drama! Did the Taiwanese cable get sliced due to a shifting shipwreck? Or was it something more nefarious? And what are the long-term implications for cable safety? Join the discussion this week on episode 353 #TheCloudPod #Shipwrecks #UnderseaCables

  6. Ars Technica: New undersea cable cutter risks Internet’s backbone. “A Chinese ship has tested a new device capable of slicing through submarine data cables thousands of meters beneath the ocean surface. That demonstration may exacerbate security concerns over a spate of suspected sabotage incidents targeting undersea communications and power cables from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean.”

  11. “Darling, it’s better / down where it’s wetter”*…

    From our old friend Neal Agarwal, a long (and illuminating) scroll from the surface to the “bottom” of the ocean (10,924 meters down)…

    As we dive: we might send connected birthday greetings to a man who put the sea floor to use, Clarence Mackay; he was born on this date in 1874. An early telecom entrepreneur, he supervised the completion of the first transpacific cable between the United States and the Far East in 1904. He laid a cable between New York and Cuba in 1907, and later established cable communication with southern Europe via the Azores and with northern Europe via Ireland. And in 1928, he became the first to combine radio, cables, and telegraphs under one management. (He sold his business, Postal Telegraph and Cable Corporation, to International Telephone and Telegraph Company [ITT] for an enormous amount of stock… just in time for the stock market crash in 1929, which wiped him out. He survived the Great Depression by selling his art and antiques.)

  16. Southern Europe is becoming a new hub for the internet.

    When you think about the internet, you probably picture wireless connections. In reality, 99% of what we do online travels through cables on the ocean.

    The fastest expansion in Europe is happening in southern Europe, through the Adriatic, Aegean, and Black Seas.

    Routes in this corridor are projected to grow by around 270% between 2025 and 2027.

  21. What makes this notable is not merely the submarine tracking itself, but the strategic target set. Undersea cables and pipelines are critical infrastructure, and public acknowledgment of Russian activity near them suggests states increasingly view seabed systems as key pressure points in hybrid conflict.

  25. Russia Unveils Covert Submarine Operations Near Undersea Cables

    Russia has been secretly deploying submarines to shadow undersea cables, the lifelines of global communication, in a move that's raised alarm bells with the UK and its allies. British defense officials claim they tracked every mile of a Russian submarine operation, involving multiple vessels, that posed a risk to these critical…
