That is hacking an individual user, not the entire blockchain.
Well, given that there are nodes located all around the world and anyone can operate one if they know how, it's only a matter of time before connectivity is restored and consensus is reestablished. Just because the internet goes down does not mean the blockchain is lost. The whole design point of blockchain is to provide redundancy for exactly that type of scenario. No single central point of failure, therefore the network is resilient to localized attacks. The only way to kill it would be to take all nodes offline forever, and good luck with that.
I think we're talking past each other. What are you getting at? What's the point you're trying to make? You said a hacker could intercept your transactions and replace them with their own. Yeah, individuals get hacked all the time. That has nothing to do with hacking the integrity of the blockchain itself, which is what the comment you replied to was saying.
