A latest study from Cambridge University found that the physical infrastructure of the Bitcoin network has extremely high network resilience, and the network can survive even if 72% of global submarine cables are cut. The most important finding of the paper is that current Bitcoin nodes are excessively concentrated in a small number of centralized cloud hosting facilities. A targeted attack or complete outage against the top 5 global hosting service providers would be sufficient to severely damage or even paralyze the entire Bitcoin network system. (CoinDesk)
