I highly doubt it. The NSA has been tapping undersea cables for decades, there's no reason they'd have suddenly become so sloppy as to cut two cables in the same region. Especially as a cable will be inspected if cut and any surveillance equipment will be discovered. I think it's more likely that those outages really were caused by ship anchors.
