Cyberwarfare made simple

Call your local defense ministry and tell them they can fire all those lazy "experts" they have in there doing nothing useful: apparently the only thing you need in these modern days is a shovel.

As Georgia provides 90% of Armenia's internet, the woman's unwitting sabotage had catastrophic consequences. Web users in the nation of 3.2 million people were left twiddling their thumbs for up to five hours as the country's main internet providers - ArmenTel, FiberNet Communication and GNC-Alfa – were prevented from supplying their normal service. Television pictures showed reporters at a news agency in the capital Yerevan staring glumly at blank screens.

Back int eh mid 90's, the college I was going a 6in diameter (or so I was told) fiber optic line ran all the way up from Syracuse to Potsdam, NY. Apparently it cost like 10k per mile at the time.

Well some jackass didn't "call before you dig", and snapped the fiber line in half with a backhoe. They sent him the bill. And we had no Internets (apparently google spell check thinks this should be capitalized!) for 2 whole weeks! :wah:
