Major US city suffers mass internet outage as Comcast warns
'deliberate acts of vandalism' to blame
A massive internet outage struck the city of Houston Friday
afternoon, and one of the area's biggest providers said they
believe it was an intentional act of vandalism.
Comcast, which provides internet services under their Xfinity
brand, said they determined that there had been 'several
back-to-back acts' of vandalism which had disrupted their
telecommunication lines.
Comcast officials also confirmed they're working with law
enforcement to find out who was responsible.
Hmmmmmm ... I get Comcast cable TV - and the past couple
of days there HAVE been weird cut-outs - everything just
freezes for several minutes.
Yea yea, Comcast IS over-priced ... but that's not
the issue here - cyber-terrorism is. If they can
get at Comcast they can get at ANYONE.
Is it Vlad or Xi or Kim ? Not clear yet. MIGHT just
be malicious little twerps looking for a laugh. We
shall see. Prob is that TOO MUCH of How The World
Works now DEPENDS on reliable net ... hacks can
NOT be tolerated. Put the spooks/mil on this -
and Gitmo-level penalties for the perps.

Or it turns out to be disgruntled employees or deep cuts in IT
security systems.
