Someone hacked through yet another fiber optic cable in the San Francisco Bay area early Tuesday morning, continuing a rash of incidents that have disrupted Internet traffic and vexed law enforcement officials.
The latest attack occurred at around 4.30 am Pacific Time near the town of Livermore, about 50 miles east of San Francisco. Someone climbed down a manhole cover there and cut through several fiber optic cables, according to several reports. The FBI is investigating.
The cables are operated by backbone providers such as Level 3 Communications, which sell capacity to other cable and Internet providers. The cables carry huge amounts of data, so cutting them can slow services over a wide area.

Isn’t it sexist to say manhole???
The one on the far right could be cast in a horror film.
I have serious doubt that these cables are made of copper.
?
You need to have your autocorrecter corrected.
You’ve never heard of fiber optic copper?...
Yes....it is...
That is correct..
They often have some conductive shielding, but there is no copper.
I hate these guys. 30+ years working for at&t and nothing pisses me off more than terrorists like this. I could go on and on, but these guys can be stopped. I can’t believe the FBI hasn’t got them yet. A good phone guy with the data and records could catch these guys.
“Or a pissed off ex-employee who knew where to go and what to cut.”
Must been a COMCAST person huh ? WHOOPS, my mistake..meant any of the millions of the LONG-SUFFERING COMCAST CUSTOMERS !!

“...disrupted Internet traffic and vexed law enforcement officials.”

It's Fiber Coptic...comes from Egypt.
Global Warming. It’s getting so bad it’s starting to melt the Internet.
“Isn’t it sexist to say manhole???”
It could also be prosecuted as gay bashing.
I think you’re in de-Nile of the truth...
Please add me to your list so’s I’ll know when my internet isn’t working!
Isn’t that a policeman who patrols fiber optic lines looking for vandals?
