Subcommittee raises undersea cable vulnerability as part of multi‑domain cyber resilience discussion Members pressed witnesses on risks to undersea cables and repair/resilience capabilities; experts urged multi‑domain responses involving the U.S. Navy, private owners, more repair ships, and better intelligence and redundancy planning.

Undersea cables are the backbone of global communication, yet they remain vulnerable to multi-domain threats that few are ready to address.

Why Did Finland Detain the Cargo Ship Fitburg After the Helsinki–Tallinn Undersea Cable Was Damaged? Finland detained the cargo ship Fitburg because investigators suspect it damaged the Helsinki–Tallinn undersea data cable by dragging its anchor. Finnish Border Guard units intercepted the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines flagged vessel in Finland’s exclusive economic zone, seized it, and detained all 14 crew while police opened a case for aggravated criminal damage and aggravated interference with telecommunications. The suspected cable damage, reported by telecom operator Elisa, is located in Estonia’s exclusive economic zone.

Investigators think a dragged anchor tore the Helsinki–Tallinn data link, so Finland detained the cargo ship Fitburg. Here’s what the probe shows—and what it means for seafloor cables. What would you ask the investigators? #BalticSea #Finland #Fitburg #HelsinkiTallinn #UnderseaCable

लाल सागर: समुद्र के नीचे कटी इंटरनेट केबल की मरम्मत की दिलचस्प प्रक्रिया, यहां पढ़ें पूरा प्रोसेस International News: लाल सागर के नीचे से गुजरने वाली ऑप्टिकल केबल के कटने से हाल ही में वैश्विक इंटरनेट सेवाएं प्रभावित हुई थीं। इस घटना ने मध्य पूर्व और दक्षिण एशिया के कई देशों में इंटरनेट समस्याएं पैदा की थीं। समुद्र तल में बिछी केबलों की मरम्मत एक जटिल और दिलचस्प प्रक्रिया है। केबल कटने के पीछे आमतौर पर जहाजों के लंगर, प्राकृतिक आपदाएं या मानवीय हस्तक्षेप जिम्मेदार होते हैं। इंटरनेट कंपनियां निरंतर डेटा प्रवाह की निगरानी करती रहती हैं। जब केबल में कोई समस्या आती है तो नेटवर्क धीमा हो जाता है या बंद हो जाता है।

MTC reroutes internet traffic during WACS fix Allexer Namundjebo Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) has confirmed that three of its internet links through the West African Cable System (WACS) will be affected by ongoing maintenance. To keep services running smoothly, MTC has rerouted internet traffic through backup channels.  The WACS maintenance, set to run from June 1 to 16, includes repairs, upgrades, and technical checks on the 14,000-kilometre undersea fibre-optic cable that connects several African countries to Europe. WACS is a key part of Namibia’s international internet connection. Although such maintenance is routine, it may lead to slower internet or brief disruptions in areas that rely on the cable. Tim Ekandjo, MTC’s Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer, said the company has invested in backup links and alternative infrastructure to limit customer impact. “Its landing station in Swakopmund connects it to key urban centres, serving as a main conduit for internet traffic. With increasing demands on internet infrastructure across sectors such as education, commerce, healthcare, and communication, temporary downtimes can have varying effects depending on the strength of backup systems,” he said. MTC says its rerouting plan has helped avoid major interruptions. Its technical teams remain on standby to monitor performance and resolve any issues that may arise. “WACS maintenance is a regular occurrence, and we’re well-prepared to manage service quality during such periods,” Ekandjo added. The WACS cable was built at a cost of US$600 million.  Namibia and Botswana jointly invested around US$75 million in the cable. Maintenance on WACS is not new.  In April 2022, the cable was taken offline for routine upgrades.  In August 2023, scheduled work affected internet speeds in Namibia.  MTC and other providers used backup systems, but some users in remote areas still experienced slower service. Damage to both WACS and SAT-3 cables in January 2020 caused major internet slowdowns across Southern Africa.  The disruption lasted for days and exposed the region’s reliance on a single system for international connectivity. Industry experts say this current maintenance is a chance to test the strength of Namibia’s existing systems.  They also say the country should invest in more diverse infrastructure to avoid over-reliance on WACS. Suggestions include using satellite internet, connecting to other submarine cables, like Google’s Equiano, and building stronger fibre networks that link to international landing points in Angola and South Africa. Experts have also called for more regional internet exchange points and local data centres.  These would reduce Namibia’s reliance on external connections and help limit the effects of outages or maintenance on systems like WACS. MTC says the current maintenance is expected to end by 16 June.
