Spectrum has reported another attack on infrastructure in Anderson County. It is the second incident in two weeks.
“Monday morning, 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,” said Scott Pryzwansky, Senior Director of Communications for Spectrum. “Our technical teams worked to restore services as quickly as possible. The Anderson County Sheriff’s Department has assigned a detective to the case 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,” he said.
The broader telecommunications industry experienced more than 15,000 incidents from June 2024 through June 2025.
Spectrum is 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.
