We are doomed as a country if it is this easy to cripple our infrastructure

Power is logistic

Block everything

Feels like a good time to remind y'all that when Chelsea Manning smuggled a CD with classified information out of a military base by hiding it in a Lady Gaga CD case.

Reminder that the hacker didn’t actually do anything to the pipeline itself. They shut down Colonial’s billing software, and the company halted service to the entire region rather than provide gas without being able to charge.

^^^^^ Yes read that last part. 

Always, always question a company’s innocence in a situation like this. “Stupid woman sues McDonald’s because her coffee was hot” is their stance. Until you see the documentary Hot Coffee and learn McDonald’s knew they were serving coffee far in excess of normal coffee temperatures.

If a corporation appears innocent of wrong doing…history seems to show this isn’t true.
