@nixCraft strictly speaking, not CloudFlare’s fault a cable got cut.

I recently learned about a GPS satellite scrambler which takes out GPS in all of Europe every now and then. Scientists were really puzzled about these brownouts and were able to pinpoint it to a military satellite which seems to be testing the waters. You don’t need to think long about what nation is responsible for this.

Now I’m wondering if cutting this cable is just another test…
