A recent study by the University of Cambridge warns that although Bitcoin employs a decentralized design, targeted attacks on critical undersea cables and major internet service providers could still cripple its network. While random cable failures pose little threat, coordinated attacks on 20% of the key cables connecting Europe and North America or on the top five hosting service providers could disconnect most nodes. Paradoxically, Bitcoin's increasing reliance on Tor (currently 64% of nodes use Tor) actually enhances the network's resilience because it can route traffic through highly redundant infrastructure in Europe.
