Throughout the third quarter, a multitude of Internet disruptions were observed globally, stemming from various causes including government-directed shutdowns, technical issues, and natural disasters. These disruptions often coincided with significant events such as exams in countries like Syria, Iraq, and Sudan, where authorities curtailed Internet access to prevent cheating. Physical disruptions also played a role, with incidents like cable damage due to construction and unusual mishaps such as a stray bullet in Texas. In addition, cyberattacks and technical failures further contributed to connectivity issues, exemplified by targeted attacks in Yemen and outages in Iran and Pakistan. The report highlights that while some disruptions were acknowledged by service providers, others remained unexplained, emphasizing the complexity of maintaining stable Internet connectivity in the face of diverse challenges.
