So, now 5 underwater internet cables have been cut, which means much of the middle-east is without Internet. Can this be a coincidence? According to the Egyptian government, no ships were in the vicinity of the first cables when they were supposedly cut by an anchor. So what are the chances 5 cables have been cut, by accident, in a few weeks? If this is deliberate, what are the intended consequences? Without the internet, the stock market will come to an almost complete halt, especially in areas like oil.

So, am I paranoid, or is something going on here? And how does this affect Flashkits servers (which are, afaik, in Australia)?
