Video 25: How Undersea Internet Cables Are Secretly Intercepted

Over 95% of global internet traffic travels through undersea fiber optic cables. These cables carry financial markets, military communications, cloud infrastructure, and encrypted data across continents.

In this video, we take a deep technical dive into how undersea fiber cables are actually intercepted in practice — without cutting the cable, without disrupting service, and often without triggering alarms.

We cover:
• The physical structure of undersea fiber cables
• Optical loss budgets and why small taps go unnoticed
• Where along a fiber span interception is easiest
• Clamp-on, in-service fiber tap hardware
• Why OTDR and monitoring systems miss passive taps
• How intercepted optical signals are reconstructed
• What information leaks even when encryption is strong
• Why quantum and classical security models fail in real deployments

This is not a theoretical discussion.
It’s a physics- and infrastructure-based analysis of how global communications behave in the real world.

If you’re interested in quantum security, fiber optics, network surveillance, or the gap between security theory and deployment reality, this video is for you.
