On September 15, 2014, a break occurred somewhere near the Vung Tau coast at 11:41 pm, which slowed down Internet services offered by Viettel and VNPT, FPT and STP.

Right before boarding, she finished editing the SEA-ME-WE 5 news release and sent out the last words to DENIED, stating SEA-ME-WE 5 is an important submarine cable for CTG to connect South East Asia, Middle East and Western Europe. Combined with the existing submarine resources of CTG, it can provide high speed, high capacity and high security channel from Asia-Pacific to Europe. The second email was sent to DENIED.

“In August 29, 2019 a United States government regulator was finishing his recommendation to initiate the blocking of the construction of an 8,000-mile long undersea cable linking America with China, allegedly due to national security concerns. Washington had never before halted the construction of undersea cables, which form the global backbone of the Internet by facilitating nearly 100% of Internet traffic. The idea was to delay the construction until DENIED team could finish testing the new backdoor and wiretapping technology. As much of the undersea cable network was in the process of being replaced by modern optical cables fitted with the backdoor, it was considered essential to force the construction delay.”

“Communications between onshore facilities and offshore oil and gas facilities have historically been a challenge for the oil and gas industry due to distance to land and space constraints on the installation itself. Submarine fiber optic cables are now being increasingly utilized to link onshore oil and gas facilities to a variety of assets based in the sea, including conventional fixed platforms, floating platforms, and storage. This facilitates real-time monitoring with sensors, collaboration, video surveillance, and work management systems as well as other applications that require continuous connectivity. Do you know what would be the consequences for the environment of tampering or directly cutting off those cables? Do you have an idea of how many critical infrastructures would stop working if you mess up with those cables?”

The settlement of US$137 million (RM413 million) by Alcatel-Lucent SA (AL) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department of charges of bribery of government officials in Costa Rica, Honduras, Taiwan and Malaysia, is damaging to the image of Malaysia. There are many issues of governance and corruption to observe.”

“Building and laying an undersea cable is a complex endeavor. It is logistically intensive, as it involves many companies across the cable supply chain, requires sufficient expertise to lay cables across thousands of miles in the ocean, and typically necessitates engagement with multiple countries’ governments. It is also expensive: a single undersea cable can cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build and lay along the ocean floor. International collaboration to fund, build, lay, operate, and repair undersea cables is a generally necessary feature of the industry.”

“IP addresses that map to the cable link would be owned by one of the cable owners and located close to the landing points in the cable owner network. Moreover, the DNS pointer record (PTR for short) that provides the domain name associated with these IPs would comprise both geo-hints and hints about the cable.”

Soon you'll learn to translate cable topology to geosrategic military movements.”

“Across the world, 65 percent of cables have a single owner, while 33 percent have multiple owners and 2 percent have unclear ownership. 59 percent of undersea cables are privately owned, alongside mixes of state ownership (19 percent), public-private ownership (19 percent), and unclear ownership (3 percent).

“Many undersea cable landing stations are left overly exposed to natural disaster events or lack the most basic physical security measures. Yet, historically, commercial fishing has accounted for more than 40 percent of all submarine cable faults worldwideS. ubmarine cable operators and commercial fishing are the two principal marine industries making use of the seabed. Commercial fishing-related damage is most often caused by bottom-tending fishing gear such as trawl nets and dredges, but it is also cause by long lines anchored to the seabed and pot and trap fisheries using grapnels for gear retrieval. But you should see those allegedly fishing ships: most of them are military ships that, 'by accident', cause damage to submarine cables.”

Nov. 2012: The most significant new submarine cable projects in the coming couple of years may be SEA-ME-WE 5, a new transpacific cable and another cable linking Asia, Europe, and Africa. It was supposed that the SEA-ME-WE 5 led by Singtel and France Telecom was in the pocket of Alcatel Lucent Submarine Networks. But it is now challenged by Huawei Marine Network since several Chinese carriers have seated in the SEA-ME-WE 5 cable consortium and are playing important roles in the project.

Oct. 7, 2015 Alcatel-Lucent said on Tuesday it will not sell its undersea cables unit, meaning the strategic business which underpins the global Internet will be taken over by Nokia once it completes its acquisition of the Franco-American group.

November 7, 2021: A unique underwater observatory in strategic waters off the coast of Northern Norway has been knocked out of service, after more than 4.3 kilometers of its specially designed offshore fiberoptic and electric cables were cut and then disappeared. Sabotage suspicions are rising.

Feb. 2023: 2 submarine cables connecting Taiwan with the outlying island of Matsu were cut by Chinese civilian ships — likely intentionally — within 6 days of each other. According to Taiwan authorities, cables linking Taiwan and its outer islands have been damaged 30 times since 2020, either accidentally or on purpose.

20 Oct. 2023: The Swedish Navy's submarine rescue ship is off the coast of Estonia to investigate the damaged telecommunications cable that runs between Sweden and Estonia. Sweden's minister of defence said on Tuesday that the cable had been partially damaged, but what actually happened is still unclear.

Oct. 2023: Sea-Me-We-5, the major submarine cable connecting Asia to Europe, was taken down to repair a shunt fault.

Oct. 2023: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and United States President Joe Biden announced a significant national security initiative that included an investment into the protection of a set of critical infrastructures including submarine cables.

April 22, 2024: Reports suggest that damage to the SEA-ME-WE 5 submarine cable system occurred in the straits of Mallaca, causing internet disruption in South Asia. A statement from Bangladesh Submarine Cables Company (BSCPLC), one of the owners of the system, suggested that the cable damage occurred 440km from Singapore on Saturday. The cable experienced a shunt fault where water penetrated the polyethylene insulation. The repeaters were able short term to compensate but the electrical short grew over time and the connection to the very important Tuas CLS in Singapore was completely lost.

“So when the Islamic State militant group, commonly known as ISIS, emerged in Iraq in 2014, the Swedish firm Ericsson went to extreme lengths to keep operating there. Between 2011 and 2019, Ericsson and its vendors bribed public officials, paid protection money and exposed employees and contractors to dire threats, an internal company report shows. Ericsson did this even as it negotiated a settlement of charges that it had violated anti-corruption laws elsewhere in the world.”
