I just wonder that is the location of "internet cables" public information in US or how this attack has been coordinated?



EDIT: If that color marking thing is correct, then it is not that hard to find those cables, at least per se. Though digging through road requires some tools and effort.



For example in here, they are just beginning to make new underwater cable from here Finland to Germany. There are military outposts at both ends. Not for the cable, but the cable is made through those outposts.
It's not hard.. Just compare a map of the major U.S. Highways then do a search for a internet backbone map in the U.S. You will notice the backbone follows major highways..

Also as dynastoned mentioned, there is cable location services which are free.. If you really wanted to be an ass and knew "about" where the cable was, you could just call up the cable location service tell them you need to dig in that area then they will come out and mark everything for you.. That would be the truly ballsy way of doing it.
