Cyber attack shuts down U.S. fuel pipeline ‘jugular,’ Biden briefed

[BigRed]

So Biden was briefed. To what end. So what.

I suspect the only "pipeline" that ************* SOB has any concern about shutting down is his urinary tract.

He was just confused. Pipe, err, what’s my rascal son Hunter up to now. I keep telling him to get off the pipe.

Awful convenient, isn’t it?

Meh, these things happen.

Can we just let them have Gary instead of paying the ransom? Chances are they will give it back in a few days anyway.

Reports coming out that colonial paid the ransom.

$5 million? For a company that size? They should have paid in the first 5 minutes, never told anyone outside the company that it happened, and beefed up security.

I know of companies MUCH smaller than that who paid more.

Throwing money at bad behavior leads to more bad behavior. On the other hand: well planned, well coordinated, well executed violence solves problems.

Probably would be cheaper than being shutdown for who knows how long. A shame it's come to that. Get the gas flowing again, then find the bastids.

Definitely some mean tweets! Then handle business.

Would have had his lawyer pay the ransom and make them sign a NDA ......

The CISO of Equifax retired immediately after their massive hack . I'm guessing that wasn't voluntary.

Guess she didn't have another use for that music degree

Equifax hired a music major as chief security officer and she has just retired

Susan Mauldin, whose identity is being scrubbed from the internet, studied music composition, writes Brett Arends.

I am not surprised by a CISO. I would be for a CEO.

Wouldn't it be cool if they paid the extortion, followed the money trail to who and where the cyber attack originated, followed by precision bombing of the location.

Interesting that the ransom was paid in Bitcoin. The Fed and the central banks do not like Bitcoin because it takes away their power and control and want to see it shut down. One of the chief complaints from the WEF, IMF, BIS and the banking institutions is that Bitcoin is funding terrorism and other nefarious activities.

That's the reason for being paid in bitcoin as I understand it... Avoiding traces

I personally believe that Bitcoin really took off when it started being used for criminal activities. It’s the perfect money tool for the criminal underworld.I have nothing to back that up other than coincidental timing of Bitcoin rise and Silk Road.

perhaps the media and .gov will use this as a the reason to regulate or ban it...
