Re: ATTENTION!! Hackers DID NOT shut down colonial pipeline, Colonial pipeline did.
While there could well be a nefarious plot, proactively shutting down to make sure the pipeline network is not infected was a responsible thing to do.

There’s a riveting account of the Maersk “Not Petya” attack in 2017, IT staff were running down the halls shouting at people to “turn your computer off!”

Think it was on wired.com, unfortunately now behind a pay wall.

Re: ATTENTION!! Hackers DID NOT shut down colonial pipeline, Colonial pipeline did.
Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention but with everything I've heard implied that it was the hackers that shut it down.
The hackers did not shutdown the pipeline, it was shutdown by colonial as a precaution because of the attack.



"In a statement published Saturday, Colonial Pipeline said a ransomware attack infected its IT network. As a precaution, the company also shut down all its pipeline operations, including its OT network- a separate network that controls its pipelines and distributes fuel."

"Connecting IT and OT networks performs a critical business function for Colonial (and other critical infrastructure providers) by enabling timely and accurate billing for fuel. However, that same connection could allow ransomware or another security compromise to compromise OT systems. That possibility led Colonial to halt pipeline operations."



So colonial has it within their power to restore the pipeline. They just don't want to risk their IT and OT networks from being hit and not allowing them to accurately bill the providers.

Re: ATTENTION!! Hackers DID NOT shut down colonial pipeline, Colonial pipeline did.
After four years of our media pushing the "Russian collusion" narrative during the Trump presidency, nobody with a brain should give them the benefit of the doubt when they assert that this was caused by a "Russian hacker".

The ruling elite have chosen to paint Russia as the enemy, but the real enemies are the ruling elite themselves, their zombified communist minions, and China.

When every level of government and media is filled with corruption to such a degree that BLM is praised as they burn the country down, you know that none of them are trustworthy anymore.
 Quoting: WalrusRider


It's a sad, sick world now. Humanity really needs to unify globally and out these vile deamons and expose them for the scum that they truly are.
 Quoting: YouAreDreaming


The “sad sickness” mostly only comes from about .001% of the world population (if that). Most others are relatively centered. All it takes is the proper minute proportion to begin to fix it, and the world changes back to whatever we wish.

the pipelines going up the east coast are probably over 60 years old. Eitherway total flow shutdown never happens.

They will have problems restarting it. Could take up to two years.

I completely agree that hackers did not shut down the pipeline but to believe that this whole that happened as a PRECAUTION to an attack, I would have to believe that nothing nefarious was going on (as in, another deliberate event to cause grief and inconvenience to the people) and these days, that simply doesn't seem possible.

It certainly SOUNDS like a plausible reason for a shutdown but seriously, I've had ransomware attack my home computer at least three times in the past, completely freezing it so I could do nothing. But that was many years ago and even back then, there were antidotes, and NOW it never happens at all because all those FREE anti-virus software programs that come with our computers kill it before it even happens. Somehow, even the word "ransomware" seems...well...outdated.

So, WHY would Colonial have to shut down the whole thing for a ransomware "attack"? They want us to believe that their anti-virus software programs couldn't nip it in the bud? That makes no sense. There's no way to connect IT and OT networks without that happening??? The PIPELINE? I don't know, I'm not buying it. I don't know what it is and of course I could be very wrong...but nope, can't see it happening as simply as they say it did.

it's probably a serious attack if it's ransomware.Who in the fuck is going to run a multi hundred billion dollar company with a notepad & a few pens?The hackers could seriously render IP's in the area null rendering all of colonial's software useless.Then there's remote desktop netop stuff too.You know how many people in this world probably write antivirus software code for a living?If the staff is retarded you could really have some fun with them & play games with memes & startup menus causing mass hysteria in the workforce which could be very detrimental in the intial hours of an event.
