This wasn't even a targeted attack, it was a wide net campaign that just happened to hook a big fish:



Since the specific make/model of the ransomware was a known quantity, I'll make a personal guess that the infection was sourced from someone falling for a phishing campaign that came through their personal email which they were checking via a work machine, unless Colonial's systems are literally decades (plural) behind.

Though I do question the logic of shutting down industrial control systems over a ransomware attack. ICS is a very specialized subset of computing that not many attackers are versed in, and it's unlikely the software used would would meaningfully impact it. Rather, I think the hardest impact is on logistical systems that handle routing and accounting.

Funny how this happened just before the drivin season and under puddens ( just before the tax s on gas so we get used to hi prices )

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America.

If there were long and horrible gas lines like this under President Trump, the Fake News would make it a national outrage! Did Joe Biden put Hunter in charge of our energy, with all of his Burisma experience? Even Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is lost!

This is just in.

"The operator of Colonial Pipeline said on Wednesday that it had started to resume pipeline operations.

“It will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal,” the company said on its website. “Some markets served by Colonial Pipeline may experience, or continue to experience, intermittent service interruptions during the start-up period.”

wheres your post on how the pandemic was first handled by your god and savior, Trump.

Best he could come up with, is Obama didn't leave me with a guide on how to handle a pandemic, when in fact he did, what the issue was, is the book had no pictures. Originally Posted by bf0082

I don't think so. I saw an article saying they had no plan to pay but didn't read it.

thank you valued poster



BAHHAAAA

Had to laugh at a Biden talking head suggesting that if you drove an electric vehicle, you wouldn't be having this problem. I guess nobody has clued her in to the idea that they could just as easily attack an electrical grid. Electric cars are not the answer to cyber security.


I heard tonight that the company was not going to pay the ransom and the reason they may be back up and running so quick is old school, that had back up. Imagine that, being able to restore a computer with a back up, Who'd thought it!

Don’t feed the Trump.

ECCIE is now home for live updates from the NJ bunker?

Hope this doesn’t offend anybody’s tender sensibilities, but if you need to hear from Trump, subscribe to his Twitter feed.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSH

(Fuck that guy ... seriously)
