There's an error in this article. You say that Darkside say they are 'prepared to target' hospitals, etc, but the linked article and press release says that they say that they will NOT target those institutes. I think this deserves a correction.

The 2016 Elections and the pipeline; they likely have the same foe. HINT: it's not the Russians 💯 The best way to control the opposition, is to lead it ourselves. - Vladimir Lenin

In other words, the entire Eastern seaboard is getting by *just fine* without 45% of their supply. Maybe our dependence on fossil fuels is a habit that can be broken?

This was reported 2-4 days ago. Can we get an update?

We know the company did Nothing to protect itself even though it's management makes millions per year..

Probably not good to have one system controlling that much of our infrastructure...our power grids are screwed for the same reason, thought that's more difficult to fix..

We rely way too much on automated systems connected to the internet. There needs to be a way to manually work around problems like this.

But dont we have a hugh amount of oil regardless of this situation?

I guess I'm glad the attack came at a time when we aren't in crisis or at war. Hopefully we can fix the pipeline and secure it from future attacks.

I hope people get how serious this is. This is Russia flexing its muscles, showing us what they can do.
