The United Kingdom will introduce prison sentences for reckless subsea cable damage to protect £1.4 trillion in daily financial transactions. The proposal updates 140-year-old legislation to deter sabotage from Russia and other hostile states. Subsea cables carry 99% of international data traffic, making them essential to British economic and national security.
