Bruce Perens writes about a recent cyber attack on an American city:
“Just after midnight on Thursday, April 9, unidentified attackers climbed down four manholes serving the Northern California city of Morgan Hill and cut eight fiber cables in what appears to have been an organized attack on the electronic infrastructure of an American city. Its implications, though startling, have gone almost un-reported.”
We have been having problems with criminals stealing the Telkom cables maybe they upped their game and went International with this job. Did anyone check if the cables was removed instead of just cut ?.
But it is interesting on how a city can be technology disabled by cutting a cable in America, luckily we don’t suffer from the same problem since we can not rely on fixed lines in the first place.
