Spectrum experienced an attack on infrastructure last Tuesday resulting in outages across the area.
“Our fiber optic lines were intentionally cut in another felony attack on our critical infrastructure, resulting in an outage for residents and businesses in the Anderson County area,” Scott Pryzwansky, Senior Director of Communications for Spectrum said, “Our technical teams worked to restore services as quickly as possible. The Anderson County Sherrif’s Department has dispatched a forensic investigator and those found responsible will be charged.”
According to Pryzwansky, criminal attacks on communications infrastructure is a growing issue affecting the entire telecommunications industry, not just Spectrum. These acts are not only a crime but threaten public safety.
The broader telecommunications industry experienced more than 15,000 incidents from June 2024 through June 2025. We are offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
Anyone with information on this criminal attack can contact Spectrum at 833-404-TIPS(8477) or reach out to local law enforcement.
