I have access - that paper says:

> Such an incident has wider implications because subsea cables carry >99% of all international data traffic, including the internet and trillions of dollars per day in financial transactions

and in turn cites "L. Carter, R. Gavey, P. J. Talling, J. T. Liu, Oceanography 27, 58–67 (2014)", which I can't find a working link for.

So it's actually talking about international traffic. Although even then, that's a little hard to believe.
