Last Wednesday, a ship that tried to moor off the coast of Egypt in bad weather accidentally damaged two internet cables with its anchor, reducing internet capacity in Asia by 75%.
A flotilla of ships may have been dispatched to reinstate the broken submarine cable that has left the Middle East and India struggling to communicate with the rest of the world, but it took just one vessel to inflict the damage that brought down the internet for millions.
