French police probe multiple cuts of major Internet cables
- iammjm 4y agoI read yesterday about some similar cases in Sweden and sabotage of train infrastructure in northern Germany. I default to the obvious culprit: Russia. Am I wrong, and if yes, how?

- zinekeller 4y agoSpecifically on cable attacks, it could be simply due to 5G hysteria though, especially that it already happened multiple times: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/france-paris-internet-cable-cuts-attack https://www.wired.co.uk/article/france-paris-internet-cable-... (Apr. 2022), https://reporterre.net/Exclusif-la-carte-des-sabotages-des-antennes-5G https://reporterre.net/Exclusif-la-carte-des-sabotages-des-a... (Dec. 2021, before the Russia-Ukraine war). I'm not clearing Russian agents or pro-Russian sympathies cutting off the cables (maybe the 5G hysteria is the cover), but this is a plausible explanation that makes sense.

- londons_explore 4y agoWere these simultaneous, or were they spaced 15 mins apart? If the latter, then it's someone going round the city grabbing all the valuable copper. And tomorrow they'll show up at a junkyard in Austria and leave disappointed because fiber isn't made of copper, but to the not-so-smart thief, that isn't obvious.
- lolc 4y agoThe operators said the cuts were similar to an earlier case where the cables were just cut through. And at current prices, you'd need a ton of copper to justify a drive from France to Austria :-)
