May 13, 20214 yr Crime does pay Colonial Pipeline Co. paid nearly $5 million to Eastern European hackers on Friday, contradicting reports earlier this week that the company had no intention of paying an extortion fee to help restore the country’s largest fuel pipeline, according to two people familiar with the transaction. The company paid the hefty ransom in difficult-to-trace cryptocurrency within hours after the attack, underscoring the immense pressure faced by the Georgia-based operator to get gasoline and jet fuel flowing again to major cities along the Eastern Seaboard, those people said. A third person familiar with the situation said U.S. government officials are aware that Colonial made the payment. Once they received the payment, the hackers provided the operator with a decrypting tool to restore its disabled computer network. The tool was so slow that the company continued using its own backups to help restore the system, one of the people familiar with the company’s efforts said. A representative from Colonial declined to comment, as did a spokesperson for the National Security Council. Colonial said it began to resume fuel shipments around 5 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday.

May 13, 20214 yr Apparently, they also were using an old, unpatched, version of on-premise Exchange. A total failure to invest in their infrastructure. I'm sure glad vital national infrastructure is in the hands of private corporations who value profits to shareholders above all else! 🙃

If not, she has my permission to buy a horse and ride it back home. They’ve got wild horses there, so she can just find one instead of buying one.

May 13, 20214 yr Enjoy this actual quote from our prepubescent Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg: Quote "We understand the concerns that need to be understood in order to evaluate the concerns that have been expressed. Our understanding has led to a larger discussion about the concerns and we understand the need to coordinate with our partner agencies toward the common goal of understanding. Now that we have the analysis to understand the greater concern, we are evaluating the fastest way to express the understanding of the analysis to a more broad network of partners. As soon as that network understanding is in place, then we will have a better understanding for the American people about their concern"
