At least it will solve the problems social media causes in society.
Every cloud, eh?
Says security consultant selling anti undersea sabotage tactical devices
…do they know something we don’t or is that a threat?
Another reason to say „f“ the cloud, AI, subscription model and own the things you want to use. Something that’s getting ever more difficult to do.
Derr… D ….DERRRRR… well you know what i mean….
No money in our bank accounts, no cash in the banks, no food in Aldi … sounds like Boxing Day….
I think most of the City will have satellite related back-up systems.
Fuck it bring it on if there’s no power that means I don’t need to go to work.
If it’s with America there’s no need to target infrastructure- the next war won’t start with attacks on undersea cables it starts with a phone call
They call VISA and tell them to stop any operations in the UK
They call AWS and Azure and tell them to stop any traffic going into the UK – we lose gov.uk, the bbc, plenty of news sites, and loads of retail stores that have their back end built on AWS, parcel companies no longer able to deliver or route parcels to depots automatically etc.
They call cloudflare and tell them to stop traffic into the uk, we lose plenty of uk hosted businesses using that service as well as non us ones too.
We get crippled with less than 5 phone calls.
And then the economic threats start.
Hey your software companies use GitHub to store all their code. How many back it up locally – because it’s getting deleted if you don’t comply
Your businesses store their data in AWS and Azure do they have local backups because all that gets deleted if you don’t comply
Suddenly there’s this huge pressure that big businesses who have moved all their data into the cloud and rely on the cloud to back it up are about to lose everything.
They could economically devastate the UK without firing a shot.
Easily saw this coming with the Russian ships circling UK waters having a look at our undersea cables.
Surely this has been obvious.
Has everyone forgotten all of those reports from a few years ago, about Russian merchant ships „casually“ loitering within our waters… At locations precisely where the underground cables are? When said locations aren’t widely publicised.
It was really transparent, even to an observant member of the public, that the Russian government was saying „by the way, we know where the cables and pipelines are, just remember that, no reason, just keep it in mind“.
I thought this problem becomes term help. I suggest we
Build a series of islands across the channel with microwave and laser communication to France. Obviously it’s these se will function worse in poor weather.
Also
Make a string of boats with loose sheathed high speed cable running from one to the next. Obviously fibre optic may be problematic so it would have to be many slower speed cables.
