[Dshield] Undersea cable cuts

[Pete Cap]

Has anyone got any comments or thoughts to share on the cable cuts?

As of yesterday I think there have been 5 cables knocked out for one reason or another, and plenty of conspiracy theories surrounding why (the Digg link to the 5th cut had the quote "This is the kind of thing that turns tinfoil into hats").  What are your thoughts on this from a security professional's standpoint?

For general reference, I found this site highly useful:  http://www.vsnlinternational.com/map/
You can see the cables by selecting "Global Footprint."

My personal theory centers on sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
There's no way sea bass could bite through those cables, no matter how irritable.

Regards,
Pete
