It’s not small time crime. But it ain’t terrorism either. And honestly, getting disconnected from the world isn’t that big a deal. My cable (which is also my ISP) got jacked up to start the new year. Missed the Winter Classic which was kind of a bummer, got a lot of reading done though.
Well, for residential customers to be offline isn’t a great tragedy, but all of the businesses that are disrupted gets to be a sizeable economic hit that truly damages individuals and communities. I’m withholding any designation of “terrorism” pending some revelation of perpetrators and/or motives. Just as likely to be ELF-type eco-freaks, IMO. All conjectural at this point, of course.
The outage is a threat to some crucial, personal business though; being without my home email will become untenable in the next 12 to 24hrs.
