Knowing when the touching becomes instead of when the connection cuts is a big improvement in any case

Really cool tech and simple tech, tldr, it uses acustics to detect even light touches in the cable; basically it turns cables into guitar strings.
As for sabotage, I don’t know, you could infer what boat caused it maybe? Like the Russian sabotage at the beginning of the war with Ukraine? Doesn’t seem to be much data other than, hey something is touching the cable.
