    Power grid being attacked. No electricity also means no internet access. The internet also relies on physical infrastructure such as subsea cables and other fiber cables. Any infrastructure issues whether due to criminal activity or natural disasters that were to affect major subsea cables could potentially shut down the Internet. I guess governments can shut down internet access, they do in Africa, if it's centralized.

    What about a solar storm? Mother nature can do it herself. A very powerful geomagnetic storm can ruin everything based on electronic, not just the internet.

    Carrington Event happened in 1859, imagine something of this magnitude happening now, this would be very ugly. And it is going to happen, sooner or later. Hopefully some scientists are working on some solution to help us in such circumstances.
