Colonial Pipeline, operator of the largest U.S. fuel pipeline, says it is restarting operations after being shut down for 5 days due to a cyberattack that led to gas shortages and temporary price hikes.

There have been more than 100 confirmed ransomware attacks against American entities already in 2021, according to a survey provided to NBC News by Allan Liska, a ransomware analyst at the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. Afound that ransomware gangs incurred around $75 billion in costs around the world in 2020.

While such hackers are closely tracked by U.S. law enforcement, many live in Russia or other countries that don’t extradite their citizens, frustrating efforts to stop them. By attacking the U.S. gasoline supply, however, DarkSide in particular quickly caught the nation’s attention. The group seemed to acknowledge it may have crossed a line Monday, writing in broken English on its blog, “We are apolitical, we do not participate in geopolitics, do not need to tie us with a defined goverment and look for other our motives,” misspelling"government."

I hope Trump’s friends & financial backers that own Colonial Pipeline: Amoco Pipeline Holding Co, Atlantic Richfield, CITGO, Conoco, Koch Petroleum, Marathon Oil, Phillips Petroleum, Equilon Enterprises LLC, & Union Oil Company, will get Cyber security protection!

fox said it is Biden’s fault but how come Koch runs the company?

It’s ALL BECAUSE “Colonial pipeline are cheap b_stards, who did NOT/do not want to hire & properly staff their IT teams with qualified Cyber Security specialists. 98% Chance; THIS Ransomware attack would have never succeeded; IF they had of done that.

If they restored from backups, and the backups contain the malware.... Same shit different day. .NatashaBertrand

Colonial Pipeline launches restart after six-day shutdownThe Colonial Pipeline launched the restart of its operations Wednesday evening following a six-day shutdown caused by a ransomware attack, but the pipeline's operators warned it will take several days for service to return to normal. I thought people were cancelling Georgia? They shouldn’t be using this gas. Hopefully people will keep in mind that Trump did absolutely nothing while in office to curb these groups of cyber criminals. This is the result. Biden is taking steps to go after these criminals and make it harder for them to attack us. It will take some time but its a start. Maybe we should focus on identifying who's these agents are, and lob some missiles at them.
