In April, a team of cyberattackers attempted to breach an undersea cable off the coast of Hawaii. The cable is part of a network that carries over 95% of the world’s data. The attack is one of in a series of mysterious attacks on US infrastructure. Let's dig in.

@aaroncbailey @WillManidis Nobody would bother to take out the hundreds of satellites when you can destroy/hack a few ground stations without which the satellites are useless.

@aaroncbailey @WillManidis Not especially. Satellite suffers from limitations in bandwidth, and very high latency. In the same sense that a backup generator will keep a few lights and a critical appliances on, but really is no substitute for mains.

@aaroncbailey @WillManidis Starlink does not have the bandwidth.
