TL;DRVerizon will give away $25,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of vandals who damaged the carrier’s network infrastructure.This follows widespread incidents of vandalism and theft in the recent past, which led to a service outage earlier this week.More than half of the reported incidents come from California and Texas, according to recent data.Earlier this week, Verizon confirmed that vandalism of fiber cables caused widespread disruptions to mobile and internet services across parts of Southern California and Los Angeles. While the carrier said at the time that law enforcement was brought in to investigate these incidents, it is now seeking the community’s help to identify the vandals.In a blog post, Verizon says it will offer a $25,000 reward to people who provide information about the vandals, provided it leads to an arrest and conviction. As the carrier points out, such disruptions can lead to devastating outcomes for sectors that rely on continuous access to mobile/internet services, such as healthcare and emergency response services.
