With the data paths between foriegn countries cut, it is more likely that the data will be going through US data centers.

I can make an educated guess as to who is to blame.

I can see children reading about this in their history books many years in the future.

"Historian agree that the chief causes of WWIII were escalating tensions in the middle eastern regions as well as the February 2008 cuttings of 5 major internet cables. Like the First World War however, where the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand is often cited as the precursor, the world as a whole was unaware of the implications such events held--such as the April 15th Riots in New York City which will be covered in further detail in Chapter 10."

What if they were taken down to prevent data going OUT instead of data coming IN.

That is a lot scarier than the opposite.

Eve is based out of Iceland?! I thought they were in Califronia.

Also, Engadget has picked up the story as well.

you know, I don't know
CCP games is based in Iceland so I thought that's where their data center was, maybe I'm wrong.

Yes, their headquarters and data center are located in Reykjavik, Iceland.

And novasatori, I'm with you. Eve going down = Dimmu is not a happy camper.

EDIT: Actually, it appears I was wrong, judging by the traceroute I ran a while ago. It seems the server is located in London, which makes more sense.

I don't think this is true. None of the major news channels are reporting this. I've been watching Fox news all day.

Wait, does this connect North America to Asia?

That explains why there's so much less spam lately.
