Severed subsea internet cables raise network security questions

Two subsea internet cables in the Baltic appear to have been sabotaged, part of a wider trend that raises concerns about the future reliability of international internet traffic.

A 218 km (132 mile) cable between Lithuania and Sweden’s Gotland Island went offline on Sunday morning, with another connecting Helsinki to Rostock in Germany failing early on Monday. The 1,200 km (746 mile) C-Lion 1 link between Germany and Finland is expected to take up to 15 days to repair.
