Southern Cross Cable chief executive Anthony Briscoe has said today (16 Sept 2014) that he is confident no spy agency had tapped into the Southern Cross Cable or its landing facilities because they would be aware of any disruption to the cable to do this. “Let’s be quite blunt. To do this, we would have to take the cable out of service and I can assure you there’s no way we are going to do that. It is a physical impossibility to do it without us knowing. There is just no way it can be done. I can give you absolute assurances from Southern Cross – and me as a Kiwi – that there are no sites anywhere on the Southern Cross network that have to do with interception or anything else the NSA or GCSB might want to do.” On 9 November 2012 IT Website reported Southern Cross cable hit by an outage zdnet/southern-cross-cable-hit-by-an-outage-7000007153/ New Zealand Labour IT spokesperson Clare Curran said today [9 Nov 2012] that the outage occurred this morning due to an unauthorised and un-notified software change made to the wavelength switching platform. #reportinginsteadofNZHeraldBecauseTheyDontWantToReportNews
