On average about 200 submarine cable damage incidents every year
Essentially all submarine cable damage is accidental not sabotage. The few cases of intentional attacks is so rare, that folks in the industry know them as part of the stories passed down.
Easy to accuse but takes months to do the forensics. Insurance claims and lawyers,
I was moderating a government-type policy panel on subsea cables a few weeks ago, and there was a deliberate attempt NOT to approach the session from a "security" standpoint, as is typically the case for this kind of audience. The interest was more about subsea network infrastructure resilience and regulatory policy streamlining. In other words, the "sabotage" angle is played out. That romance is worn out. Mark.
