Criminal Gang Shut Down U.S. Pipeline


And demanded a ransom to restore it (CBS News). From the Wall Street Journal: The economic damage from the cyber attack that shut down the 5,500-mile Colonial Pipeline—the country’s largest fuel pipeline—should be limited. But it’s a glaring reminder that cyber vulnerabilities in U.S. energy and other systems are the real infrastructure problem that President Biden should be addressing (WSJ). https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-real-infrastructure-problem [login to see] 5?mod=opinion_lead_pos1

Any advancement in technology appears to benefit criminals as well as everyone else...even more so it seems.
