Charter has labeled recent damage to its fiber lines in California and Missouri as 'domestic terrorism' to highlight the serious disruption it causes. The June 15 incident in Van Nuys affected essential communications and services like emergency response. Charter emphasizes the importance of recognizing these attacks as more than vandalism, as they compromise access to critical infrastructure, endangering lives. FBI representatives support this perspective, stressing that such actions have far-reaching consequences for public safety. Charter aims to raise awareness without instilling fear, noting authority in 28 states federalize the issue surrounding broadband destruction.
"The June 15 damage in Van Nuys interrupted critical communications, impacting connectivity and redundancy to emergency services, including a U.S. military base, 911 services, and healthcare facilities."
"These attacks are more than mere acts of vandalism; they are disrupting access to critical emergency services and creating potentially life-threatening situations," says FBI Special Agent Chris Crocker.
