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.

Yeah, it wasn't a conspiracy, it was a matter of time.

BEDMINSTER, NJ

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!

You wouldn't be amazed at how stupid some people can be. People still give strangers their passwords over the phone or IM.

Maybe but somehow Stuxnet got to the Iranian centrifuges via a USB drive on somebody's PC. Pretty interesting story.

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.”

So did they pay the ransom?

Here's a interesting article about some towns and cities who have fallen to these extortionists:

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

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!
