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.

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.

No bluetooth, wifi, mikes, speakers. All unused ports hardware disabled by a desoldering station.

Critical infrastructure requires SIPRNET or JWICS security levels. Idiots.

I find it really hard to believe that their IT or CM department didn't have disaster prevention or emergency management plan of some sort with complete backups of the system stored in multiple locations, one of them at an offsite location - especially given government oversight over something so critical to the country's energy system. I'm not buying this bullshit. This scenario is planned and purposeful - I have zero doubt. There is no legitimate reason they are taking days to get it back online.
