Does this mean someone was h4xing and stealing their interwebz?

Someone is definitely h4xing for sure!

I already posted about that: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=315016&rid=2#msg_3150 16

I think this guy is probably right:

The locations where many of the recent cable cuts have occurred (China, Pakistan, Palestine/Egypt, and now Iran) is highly suspicious. I suspect that the U.S. intelligence community is using a sub to tap into the fiberoptic line to capture all of the data. Unlike copper lines, they probably can't splice into glass fiberoptic lines without breaking the circuit for a while.

1) Cut the line somewhere roughly, so it clearly looks like an accident
2) Somewhere else far away, splice into the line using a sub, so the NSA can capture all the data (or even potentially alter it in transit)
3) Let the commercial communication providers fix the obvious break
4) Profit! (at least in terms of intelligence gathering and cyber-war capability

If that is the reason, what is the point? Isn't the point of the data being transfered across the ocean to get it from one side to the other? What is the point of intercepting it if it is coming at you anyway?

It is the same thing as catching the ball thrown by your own team and calling it an interception, in American Football.
