We are 4 Days Away From Empty Pumps

This past week, the Colonial Pipeline, which serves gasoline from Texas to New York, disconnected itself when it was ravaged by a Ransomware attack, and they reportedly paid the hackers 5 Million in ransom. After the shutdown, Americans did what they did when Covid hit- they went panic buying and soon all the gas pumps on the east coast were running dry.

There are rumors from prior cyber consultants that worked with Colonial to get them to fix their piss poor network, and one even said that an eighth grader could take it over. So isn’t it nice to know that you don’t have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck when we are always only 4 days from running out of gasoline because some dipshits refuse to run Windows Update?
